ScaleTheSummit bassist releases instructional book

Mark here from Scale the Summit - I’m excited to announce
the release of my second instructional book for bass, “Sightreading 101 for
Bass: Reading Standard Notation, Vol. 1”, which is geared for anyone who has
little to no experience reading standard notation looking to learn from square
one, and will help to go from never having read music before to reading basic
notes and rhythms in multiple key signatures. I really felt knowing how to read
standard notation helped tremendously for me in my early years of playing, so
thought I’d write a book on the how-to! Also, I noticed a ton of my students
all looking to learn this, so felt it was a very universal topic for aspiring
bass players. 

This book contains 116 total pages, over 140 exercises,
descriptive examples and figures, a full-color gloss front cover and spiral
bounding, which is most convenient for allowing the book to stay spread open on
stands and flat surfaces! All exercises are playable on 4, 5, and 6-string
basses.

The book is currently available to order through the Scale
the Summit online store. All further details, book content/topics, sample
pages, etc. can be found here:

	I put together a promo video/walkthrough for this book - I talk a bit about what inspired me to write a book on this topic, book contents, why sightreading is important, and how it was a vital part of my music career early on. Hope everyone can check it out! Thanks! Edited by MistaMarko - June 02 2014 at 17:19
