FJH MusicNew Directions For Strings, Double Bass D Position Book 1
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
New Directions for Strings Double Bass D Position Book 1 presents the first-book material from a higher D-position area of the fingerboard. That gives teachers a choice between beginning in Simandl first position (A position) or using this D-position route. The method uses tetrachords to develop left-hand frame and finger patterns in relation to keys, with posture guidance written for the instrument. Early ensemble material, two contrasting solos, and work in notation, aural skills, dictation, improvisation, composition, and theory create a broad first-year course.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Double bass classes beginning Book I from the higher D-position region of the fingerboard.
- Teachers choosing between Simandl first position and D position for their starting approach.
- Early ensemble work alongside instrument-specific posture and left-hand-frame development.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Teachers who specifically require a Book I volume that starts in Simandl first position rather than D position.
