Bisher war es fast unmöglich, für Kinder ab fünf Jahren dieses Instrumente zu erlernen. Der Musikschullehrer Claus Freudenstein hatte die Idee, einen Minibass für Kinder zu entwickelen. Die hier vorliegende Sammlung wurde aus den langjährigen Unterrichtserfahrungen entwickelt und ist für Kinder ab 5 Jahren gedacht. Sie soll dem Schüler schon in der ersten Stunde sein Erfolgserlebnis bereiten, das sich dann mit jeder weiteren Stunde bzw. mit jedem weiteren Lied wiederholt. Die Sammlung versteht sich nicht als Schule, sonder als Ergänzung zur jeweiligen Unterrichtsmethode. Seit es E-Bässe für Kinder gibt, sind diese Stücke auch für den Unterricht mit Kindern am E-Bass geeignet. / Contrebasse

Studies for Bass - Based on the Violin Studies of Franz Wohlfahrt-The goal of Mastering The Bow Part 1 is to help bassists expand their tonal vocabularies: to learn to make a wide variety of colours and shapes with music. The left hand makes no sound; it is the bow that creates articulations rhythms and rises and falls within a phrase. Using the famous Franz Wohlfahrt Studies for Violin as the basis Gaelen McCormick has selected and edited these etudes to teach and reinforce bowing techniques for the bass. Quite simply there is no other book out there for string bass players that addresses bow technique in this manner and Mastering the Bow will greatly enhance the pedagogical repertoire for theinstruction of the bass. All bassists should have this as part of their study materials. For beginning to intermediate players.
