Synopsis

Studies for the master or master-in-training are presented here. A continuation of the course presented in Single String Studies Volume One, this will lay the foundation for truly virtuosic technique and performance. The exercises presented here are the same that great teachers and world class music schools give to their advanced students. This is the first book to present them formally, and is a milestone of its kind. This book contains hard-core information and exercises that are plainly difficult; only dedicated musicians need apply. But if you are serious about your instrument, learning how to read on it, and learning where the notes are without looking at it, you've come to the right place. This book works in tandem with audio examples that can be downloaded form the internet, which will greatly aid in the absorption of information and the building of skill. Exercises for each string are presented in all keys. The book culminates in a final section which integrates playing on all four strings. This book is a required text at New York Universities and Princeton University Music department.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Single String Studies Volume Two is an excellent learning tool for both the intermediate and advanced student who is looking to improve their music reading ability and specifically their ledger line reading. Each exercise concentrates a students attention of one string at a time. This allows a familiarity to form between the written pitch and where it can be found on the bass along with improving one's "feel" for jumping linearly across the fretboard. Audio examples for all exercises in the form of midi files can be downloaded from the Internet.
