Description

Getting to know the whole fingerboard, from the low register to thumb position, is an Online Double Bass Intermediate Course whose goal is to guide you step by step until you reach the higher register of the double bass. With a practical and organized method, you’ll recognize notes, scales, and fingerings without spending years with method books. Along the way, progressive PDF exercises, adapted pieces, and piano accompaniments help you work on intonation, rhythm, and musicality at every stage. At the end, a one-hour private online lesson with me brings everything together: we resolve your questions and define your next steps—whether expanding your repertoire or preparing auditions with confidence.
