“Have Fun with the Double Bass is a unique publication that adds joy and variety to learning the instrument. It includes many songs that children will be familiar with and can sing along to, thus making practising easier and more fun.
Gerd Reinke has paid great attention to detail as he covers the essential basic skills for a budding double-bass player such as rhythmic exercises, posture and technical terms. The short exercises can be accompanied by the teacher on the double-bass or the piano and make the players curious about many more 'bass-related' journeys of discovery.
May the young bassists do well and enjoy this method!”
Univ. Prof. Christine Hoock
