I use this book for the first lessons of nearly every beginning student that comes to study with me. While they progress to fingered notes after (and sometimes during) the first lesson, I continue assigning this book until the student finishes it. It's great as a \u003cstrong\u003ewarm-up\u003c\/strong\u003e at the beginning of the lesson where we can \u003cstrong\u003efocus on bowing\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Are you teaching yourself? This book doesn't have any explanatory words and was intended to be used in a lesson. However, adult learners can play through it and improve their playing if they know a bit about how to read music (how notes fall on a staff, how rhythms are notated, etc.). \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This book could be used along with \u003cem\u003eLearning the Bass, Book One\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eBass Book One.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 34\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.07 x 11 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 30, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53100004901171,"sku":"9781635231649","price":24.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/eS9LdC9KM0J6dDlQYjF0U0JabGdzdz09.webp?v=1772481823","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-open-string-book-for-bass-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
