10 Pieces for Beginner Double Bass & Piano

“Bow that Bass! is a collection of ten lively and rhythmic pieces for young bassists. Composed over the past few years and usually with a specific student in mind, they encompass a range of keys and styles alongside introducing accessible musical and technical challenges.” [James Cruttenden]

Jazzy accompaniments add to the fun and the enjoyment of learning and performing these pieces and each should ‘go with a swing and have a bit of zest’ – which they certainly do. Each piece offers effective challenges for the progressing young bassist with a number of positions and keys used to add variety and contrast.

About the Composer

James Cruttenden was born in Hastings, East Sussex in 1967 and began playing the double bass at the age of 13, having already learnt the violin. He studied double bass at Birmingham School of Music with Tony Morgan and currently works as an instrumental teacher for East Sussex Music Service and also at Vinehall Preparatory School and Eastbourne College. James began composing for his own double bass students, and for groups of young bassists who attend the regular ESMS (East Sussex Music Service) Summer School. He also composes ensemble music for various instrumental combinations, but of course always featuring the double bass, and performs locally as a double bassist in his native East Sussex.
