Technical Exercises for Double Bass This set of Technical Exercises has been compiled over the last 35 years from many different sources including double bass players and other string pedagogues. The exercises, in and of themselves, are only as valuable as the player makes them. In order for strong progress to be made, the player should apply all of the important mechanics of playing and the vital practice methods discussed in the book: Double Bass – The Ultimate Challenge by Jeff Bradetich.
Because of the technical demands that the double bass presents, the player needs a systematic approach to practicing and progress. These Technical Exercises cover the basics of advanced to virtuosic playing. Playing just what is written here is a good start, but each exercise should be practiced in many different keys, on different strings, with a variety of bowings, rhythms, and fingerings, starting both down bow and up bow, playing in different parts of the bow and at different speeds and volumes.
Points of focus when practicing these exercises: • Set goals • Apply proper mechanics • Always produce a beautiful tone • Understand the fingering concepts • Practice in different musical styles • Apply the three major categories of bow strokes to applicable exercises • Utilize the different rhythmic patterns • Develop self -awareness while playing • Identify problems and work on them systematically • Work on different speeds and oscillation widths of vibrato • Utilize the metronome and the chromatic tuner some of the time • Record yourself • Make them fun – find your own variations – make up your own exercises
Multiple copies of Technical Exercises by Jeff Bradetich are available at discounted rates. Inquire at www.musicforalltohear.com.
