The books from Basso Prof ndo Publications are devoted solely to double bass technique. These books were written in response to a frustrating lack of such materials, but were not borne of the attitude that technique is the alpha and omega of musical life. Any performing artist's ideal should be to reach audiences emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually.
Technique is only a means to more effectively reach that end.
Miraculous Scale Fingerings , and Miraculous Arpeggio Fingerings were written because it was impossible to find a scale or arpeggio book that proposed a few practical fingerings for simple ascending and descending scales or arpeggios. Many of these scale systems are overburdened with patterns, bowings and fingerings. I wanted to invent a scale and arpeggio system that was flexible, covered a wide range of playing ability, and was as complete and concise as possible. I have found that when a student embraces a routine of regular practice on especially the Miraculous Scales and Arpeggios , with a healthy dose of Torturous Exercises, their playing really takes off. I didn't use a method.
