First steps with the double bass It's not by chance that Kontrabass! (Double Bass!) has an exclamation mark in its title, for Thomas Schlink's method begins from scratch, i.e. it requires no practical knowledge of the instrument. The Kontrabass! concept is so broad that all teachers can proceed from their own playing techniques and methods, and can teach them without difficulty. In Book 1, the student goes from plucked and bowed playing on open strings to the first position. In order to let the student interact with others from the very start, the book often includes an accompanying part for bass, piano or melody instrument. Of course, such a well-planned instrumental method offers more yet: work materials, exercises, suggestions in a word, double-bass lessons are rounded off perfectly with Kontrabass!The Kontrabass! concept is so broad that all teachers can proceed from their own playing techniques and methods, and can teach them without difficulty..
