Scale & Arpeggio Documents
The bass scale pages contain recommended fingerings. However, each
person should feel free to personalize their fingerings to fit their hand and
the tempo they are playing the scales. I also have a Scale
& Arpeggio CD that corresponds to these documents that assists you with
playing them in tune.
Note
Reading Flash Cards
These files are only in pdf (Adobe Acrobat)
format.* I suggest printing these on card stock for
durability. On the back are fingerings as well as note names for the instrument.
However, I also use these flashcards for teaching other instruments clefs, such
as Treble clef reading for viola, cello and bass.
