The second, bilingual (German/English) volume is dedicated to the introduction to early position playing up to the 3rd position. The changes of position are marked with lines for better orientation; climbing games and slide glissandi encourage the playful use of the instrument. Recurring melodies in the different positions link new learning content with existing playing skills. This guarantees the pupils a great deal of security, as they always retain control of the intonation with simple transpositions. The varied song material is now also supplemented by easy two-part movements, including some duets composed especially for this school by Boguslaw Furtok, which promote the fun of making music together and prepare for ensemble playing.

The authors
The double bass school edited by J. Peter Close and Holger Saßmannshaus is based on preliminary work by Egon Saßmannshaus and the double bass teacher Ulrich Schwarz. "Early Beginnings on the Double Bass" transfers the principles and experiences from the violin school, combines them with the modern methodology of double bass playing and thus ensures rapid success on this special instrument.

Holger Saßmannshaus, son of Egon Saßmannshaus, is a double bass player with the Niederrheinische Sinfoniker in Mönchengladbach/Krefeld, double bass teacher and musician in other ensembles.

J. Peter Close is Egon Saßmannshaus' son-in-law and works as a teacher for cello and double bass in Munich.

The Saßmannshaus/Close family's concentrated knowledge and many years of cross-generational experience make the three volumes of the "standard work for young string players" the most thorough and well thought-out double bass school for beginners worldwide.
