4 out of 5 stars Really Helps   January 11, 2006
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

After regular practice of the first 15 exercises I noticed that elements of the exercises started to become part of my playing without having to think about it. The exercises also have really helped with fingering and technique. Lastly the exercises build skills in all keys. So far well worth the time.


1 out of 5 stars Not a happy buyer   April 14, 2004

I just got this book and will give it more work and perhaps come back and upgrade my rating but my initial reaction is extremely negative. There are essentially no instructions or descriptions of any of the exercises.
The instructions consisted of (paraphrased for brevity) but this is all of them.
Use a metronome
Start slow then increase
Curve fingers
Sit low..
Relax
Enjoy
There were few fingering suggestions and none for the bass.
I ran through the first 2 measures of most (which was enough to get the idea since each covers all keys basically by repeating the same thing 1/2 step up) and until the very end they seemed all to be variations on the same thing. The bass is non-standard and though he mentions using others there are no suggestions. The notation is 16th notes and no mention is made of perhaps swinging them.
I'm on my way to order the other one of the same title, hopefully it will meet my needs better.
