Kickstart your string education with Measures of Success Double Bass Book 1. Designed to make learning intuitive and highly engaging, this comprehensive method book uses simple, memorable phrases to teach fundamental concepts from the very first lesson. With a targeted focus on finger preparation and location—especially as students begin to cross strings—beginners will build strong, reliable technique right from the start.

Structured into four distinct chapters (Opus 1-4) that beautifully correspond with the four quarters of a typical school year, the book provides achievable benchmarks that give students a constant feeling of accomplishment. Additionally, a full curriculum guide written by specialist Denese Odegaard is included, correlating perfectly with current ASTA and NAfME music education standards, making this the ultimate resource for both self-learners and orchestra directors.

Key Features:

• Organized Curriculum: Four main chapters align with the school year, supplemented by four full-page assessments for accountability and progress tracking.

• Composer's Corner: Progressive lessons that take students from basic composition into arranging and early improvisation.
