Intonation Plus

by L. Berryman (Composer)

The intent of this book is to provide a measure of practical training through examples of traditional and contemporary styles of writing for the double bass. It also deals with technique, facility, and endurance required for solo work by means of carefully graded exercises. These exercises are designed to strengthen the fingers, overcome difficulties in intonation, and, in general, establish a good contact between the student and the instrument. Includes lots of instruction and close-up photos.

Very helpful study of the double bass, emphasizing intonation, technique, phrasing, and dynamics, using both pizzicato and arco approaches to the instrument.
