Contains all scales and arpeggios for the revised syllabus from 2012, with bowing patterns and suggested fingering, and a helpful introduction including advice on preparing for the exam.Trade ReviewIt has been many years since significant changes have been made to the ABRSMs scale syllabus for Double Bass. The syllabus now takes the player through the whole range of the double bass, from a one octave E major scale starting on the lowest open string for Grade 2 to E major in 3 octaves at grade 8. The rhythmic changes for scales published in such as way that it is still possible to choose the 'old' style without bamboozling either student or teacher. Scales are printed twice, firstly in the new version as even quavers and then on the next page in the old style. Visually, the finger look les cluttered on the page as, unlike previous editions, fingerings are not marked on every note. Teachers might miss the well-know clear framework with its comprehensive succession of learning all keys, or miss having a greater variety and alternative styles between exam boards. At least the layout in the new syllabus makes it easy to choose the 'old' style rhythms. And this syllabus certainly does

Kahn & Averill Violin and Viola
Book SynopsisYehudi Menuhin shares with the reader his unique store of understanding about the violin, about how to exercise and practise, about the techniques of performance. His reflections on the nature and scope of his instrument are profoundly illuminating and his theories on interpretation particularly valuable. A section on the violinist as teacher/student contains a fascinating transcript of a lesson with Yehudi Menuhin, who also writes separately about the violinist as orchestral player, leader, chamber music player, recitalist and soloist. William Primrose writes the distinguished monograph on the viola and describes the instrument as ‘a violin with a college education’. He was an acknowledged technical master of the viola who, along with Lionel Tertis, was one of the finest exponents of this beautiful instrument of the 20th century. Denis Stevens, the British musicologist and specialist in early music, provides and interesting chapter on the history of the violin and looks in detail at the monumental challenge that is Bach’s Six Solos for Violin without Bass Accompaniment better known as the Sonatas and Partitas for Violin.Trade Review'Yehudi Menuhin was the reason I became a violinist… He was an inveterate learner as well as an inveterate teacher – constantly searching for answers to life and music. I encountered this side of him first hand after I’d started studying with Zakhar Bron. Menuhin wanted to know all about Bron’s teaching, and we talked for several hours, during which he asked me to play for hours – he’d jump in with fascinating insights, suggestions and comparisons.' - Daniel Hope, Memories of Menuhin, The StradTable of ContentsPreface by Yehudi Menuhin, The Instrument by Etienne Vatelot, Part One - The Violin by Yehudi Menuhin, 1.
