Encore On Strings - Double Bass Level 1 Book and Online Audio 📚🖥️🎵

Encore on Strings is an inspiring program that delivers on every aspect of learning and teaching

This is the first book in a series which has been specifically developed to meet the needs of beginner string students aged 6-12. Contemporary, vibrant, creative, engaging and comprehensive each piece features a particular teaching point such as introducing a new note, a new skill or perhaps reinforcing previous elements within a new context. To assist both teacher and student the teaching point relevant to that piece then appears underneath its title. 

Book One begins with the essentials of learning about the instrument. Due emphasis is placed on good posture as the foundation for a reliable technical setup. Illustrations show students the fundamental points for positioning their instrument to achieve a well-balanced and aligned stance or sitting position. Students are also guided on how to form a balanced and flexible bow hold. An awareness of the relationship between tone quality, resonance, secure pitch and technique is ongoing throughout the series.

Pizzicato open strings are introduced before arco playing. Activities that encourage flexibility are embedded into the learning sequence. These include body percussion elements in bridge passages and improvisation activities such as harmonic slides up and down the fingerboard. Transposition is encouraged across both levels. Authors:  Mark Gibson & Natalie Sharp / Accent Publishing

Key Elements:

  • Backing Tracks – outstanding arrangements that provide authentic aural models
  • Fiddle Zips – micro pieces that develop essential string playing skills
  • Finger Maps – confirm finger patterns and provide visual models
  • Daily Warm-Ups – technical skill development
  • Repertoire Pieces – solo performance pieces
  • Ensembles – develop part-playing skills, group interaction and team awareness
  • Scales – included as an essential aspect of all instrumental learning
  • Extension Activities – promote creativity and expand musical understanding

This is a 2 book series, available for Violin, Viola, Cello & Bass. Recommended for beginner string students aged 6 – 12 years.
