Scales for the Double Bass

Scales for the Double Bass

Want to learn how to play scales on the double bass but not sure which book to use? "Scales for the Double Bass" is a comprehensive scale book for the double bass that includes one, two, and three octave major and minor scales and arpeggios--one and two octave melodic and harmonic minor scales are also included. This book uses detailed fingerings and other technique markings that are clear and easy to understand. Both traditional "position technique" (Simandl) and "pivot technique" (Rabbath) fingerings are included in two and three octave scales and arpeggios. I made this book with my middle school and high school bass students in mind, but it can be a great resource for double bassists of all levels and abilities.
