Lauren Pierce: Scales, Scales, Scales: A Progressive Technical Journey for the Double Bass

About the Book

Scales are the building blocks of music – they have also been the building blocks of my technique. This book demonstrates how scales can be a vehicle for exploration and growth on the instrument throughout your double bass life.

In this book, I provide a method for not only practicing scales for your daily practice but also a guide for gradually increasing your skill level over time. 

My goal in writing this book was to provide you with a framework for structuring your scales practice in the short and long term and teach you how to push yourself to grow in a way that leads to lasting change, not just fleeting success.

As the title suggests, this book begins at a beginner level - one-octave major scales and gradually moves to a more advanced level - two-octave thumb position scales and two-octave "up the string" scales.

The book is designed for you to work at your own pace and repeat and revisit as many sections as needed, just as I have throughout my career.
