    As a Teacher, This Book Is My First Choice
  

*by S***S on Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2018*

I am a private music teacher.  This book is what I start all my students with.Forgive me, but I have never opened the CD's that come with any of the books I teach with because my students have a teacher.  I don't believe one should learn to play a musical instrument solely from a book.  I still take lessons from time to time on the instruments I teach - one should always be a student, and one should always learn from a teacher.

    Makes Learning Fun - Really!
  

*by D***A on Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2009*

I played electric bass for about 18 years and wanted to try playing the upright bass.  You'd think it would be basically the same, but besides the tuning of the strings, everything is completely different!  The technique needed to play the upright bass is very different than the technique used to play the electric bass.To help me out, I bought a bunch of beginner books and DVDs (many from Amazon.com) to try to learn how to play.  I can honestly say that this book is the one book that makes it fun to learn the upright bass while teaching you the skills you need to actually play.  Because many of the songs are instantly recognizable but short, the book keeps you interested in playing without tiring you out.Mixed in with the recognizable songs are songs that the author wrote, as well as exercises and scales which help build your skills and strengthen your music reading and understanding.  Each section builds upon the previous section and incorporates notes/finger positions that you just learned.  This book gives you a strong foundation and can get you out of that beginner rut and into becoming an intermediate level player.

    Excellent self-study for beginning Upright Bass
  

*by S***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2014*

This book has graduated exercises in a methodical order. Very well presented and easy to follow.Even though I play cello which makes it easier, the absolute beginner should have no problem. I highly recommend this book for anyone just starting the upright bass and is excellent for self-study. Book 2 is a continuation and should really be presented in 1 volume.The only criticism I have is that there is no accompanying CD. Many of the exercises are of the authors own compositions and it would be nice to know what they should sound like! As a result, I skipped those and practised the more familiar ones.That is the only reason I gave it the 4 stars...otherwise it would have easily rated the max. 5 stars. Really good value though.
