Summary of This Method
Writing a double bass method when teaching requires as much rigor as generosity. This method by Émilie Postel-Vinay fits precisely within this transmission approach: a solid classical foundation, enriched with an inventive touch that makes learning lively and motivating. It is praised for its effectiveness by double bassist and educator Sylvain Wiener, who highlights the quality of the work and the commitment necessary for such an undertaking.
The double bass has evolved significantly: long confined to an accompanying role, it now asserts a true soloist personality while remaining a harmonic and rhythmic pillar of the orchestra. This evolution has led to new technical demands, and this method addresses exactly that, with a progression adapted for beginners (young students as well as adults).
Each lesson is organized into three complementary major stages. First, a technical section focused on tone and finger agility, to establish good instrumental reflexes. Next, a section dedicated to duets : the student plays with their teacher from the beginning, which promotes ear training, setup, balance, and the desire to perform quickly. Finally, the method offers pieces accompanied by piano, ideal for developing musicality, phrasing, and interpretative sense. The whole is complemented by some riddles and popular songs, to vary approaches and maintain the pleasure of progressing.
