The "Early Start on the Double Bass" part 1 by Holger Sassmannshaus cs is especially for young children to get a good start and is followed by two more parts. The method starts with open strings and simple notes. Part 1 uses nursery rhymes, all of which are worded to ensure that the melody lines can be easily understood as a whole. From the very beginning part 1 emphasizes note reading, rhythm and offers practice in moving from one string to another and the associated bowing technique. Fun color illustrations make the part attractive to children. Part 2 & 3 is a continuation of part 1, with more emphasis on position play.
