Janice Tucker Rhoda's ABCs of Bass books are an outstanding way to start beginning bass players of all ages. It's fun, familiar tunes, mixed with helpful exercises, keep students progressing quickly while also keeping their interest. It is especially helpful for young beginners, as there is no other series out there that is both effective and engaging for them. I highly recommend the ABCs of Bass books." Nancy Kidd, Double Bass teacher and performer, Bassist in Rhode Island Philharmonic, former Principal Bassist Thayer Symphony, Fitchburg, MA
"The ABCs of Bass presents a wealth of information that is consistent with the pedagogy of the leading bass teachers worldwide! Students will love it because of the high quality of the music. There are well over 40 appealing folk songs, classical pieces and excellent original teaching pieces by Janice Tucker Rhoda in each volume. Information for both the left and right hands is thoughtfully presented. For example, the introduction of the slurred staccato and the slurred portato before teaching the smooth slur is a great idea! After studying Books 1 and 2, students will be able to play various two octave scales with many of the basic bowing skills." Dan Swaim, Professor of Double Bass, Arizona State University and Chair of Suzuki Association of the Americas Bass Committee
"The ABCs of Bass books are easy to work with for both my young and middle aged Double Bass students."
Tom Nothnagle, Master Teacher of Double Bass, All styles Guitar, Bass Guitar, Mandolin, Banjo, Ukulele, Iowa City, IA
