Pizzicato may be used throughout for the weaker player but this is not to be encouraged if a good bowing technique is to be developed. The pieces have been carefully graded to provide a good introduction to the usual musical signs and some of the most common time signatures. In each of the tunes, the bass alternates between plying the melody and performing a supporting role. This is useful for the teacher who wants to draw the pupil's attention to this distinction, and is beneficial even at the earliest stages.BASIC BASS Six easy pieces for the beginner bass player using open strings only COLIN EVANS 1 Down under Nottoo fast J=72 DOUBLE BASS PIANO 0 3 © Copyright 1983 Paxton Music Limited All Rights Reserved2 Dance for Matilda Quick waltz tempo d--60 mf ‘crese- >>> [ee nf3 Peace for two Not too fast d= so PBi 37 43 ‘simile 4 10 Coda (2nd time) y adie > > = = > —_— P __fall.poco a poco me a. — P ‘ a a a — b a PP 2 lA4 Double trouble At a relaxed tempo 4 - 66@ to Coda (2nd time} pizz.5 Take a note Ata moderate speed d= 76 iz P6 A la carte In arelaxed manner 4.= 12 oo arco of anf12 a= Published by Paxton Music Limited.
