FRANÇOIS RABBATH'S NEW TECHNIQUE ON CD-ROM
Has been reduced by over 40%
from $130.00 to $79.95

Due to the overwhelming response by teachers and students throughout the world, the producers of this innovative treatise and teaching aid have been able to release this new pressing at a greatly reduced price.
Technology serving art and pedagogy

Through state-of-the-art computer and media technology teachers and students can now have private "virtual" sessions of any length - at any time with Rabbath.

The advantages of the CD-ROM

Rabbath demonstrates and explains all the inner-workings of his very personal technique, including his revolutionary crab technique. With freeze frame and ultra slow-motion technology it is possible to follow every movement of every shift and bow stroke.

The CD-ROM is laid out in a very logical way enabling the user to find anything quickly, usually with just one or two mouse clicks. Separate sections for the right and left hands, an in-depth discussion and demonstration of the use of the bow.

You can follow Rabbath - with both full motion video AND printed music simultaneously on your monitor - as he plays through many of his exercises. Examples such as a 3 octave scale played with 5 shifts followed by the same scale played with 4, 3, 2 and finally one shift abound. As he plays these examples you may follow the music, complete with fingerings and shift points so you can immediately try them yourself.

What are a few of the other things on it?

The Instrument contains general information about the history and construction of the double bass.

The Method includes an unusual demonstration taking the student or teacher through the all-important First Steps of holding the instrument and the bow correctly.

The Right Hand includes the art of using the bow, families of bow strokes and special pizzicati all with related exercises.

The Left Hand concentrates on Vibrato, Finger placement, Harmonics and the Crab Technique.

Preparing to Play discusses ideal instrument set up, bow tension, holding the instrument and tuning.

There is much more including a complete Rabbath biography, discography and a "family" album - with some never-before published photos - of Rabbath with some of the greats of the music world.
