Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
New Directions for Strings: Double Bass Book 2 is a method book that combines bass-specific posture guidance with a tetrachord-based approach to developing left-hand frame and finger patterns. Its lessons extend beyond reading notes, bringing in composition, listening, dictation, improvisation, and theory. Ensemble material appears early, so classroom players can work within a group setting as the book progresses. Two contrasting solos give the double bassist additional focused performance material.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Double bass students working through notation, listening, theory, and left-hand finger-pattern development in one method.
- String-class settings that need ensemble material early in the book.
- Teachers who want pedagogical notes, assessment materials, and organizational resources alongside the student method.
