Jan Faulkner . 5 short pieces for the beginner bassist. Written in a lively, enjoyable and accessible style, each piece uses a limited number of notes and rhythmic patterns to help develop musical and technical skills from the outset. The piano accompaniments are simple and supportive, aimed at the pianistic skills of the average teacher, offering new and inventive first concert or exam repertoire. Limited to 1st position, they use a number of keys and musical styles which should appeal to players and teachers alike.
