Taken from Waud's Progressive Method for Double Bass, these 30 melodic studies cover many bowing, rhythmic and technical aspects of the double bass and would be ideal for the beginner/intermediate player. A wide range of keys are explored and the studies can be used to develop technical skills throughout the orchestral register of the instrument.

Long out of print, these studies have much to offer any bassist who is serious about developing a strong and confident technique in the orchestral register of the double bass. Useful as sight-reading practice also. A number are included for LCM exams.

Performance Level: 3;4;5;6;7;8
