Press
"Cathy Elliott is one of Britain's leading teachers of young bassists and has used her extensive experience and knowledge to write one of the definitive teaching methods yet produced. This really is "essential" for all teachers of very young bassists. Highly recommended."
British & International Double Bass Forum, June 1997
"I have found this material a godsend for reinforcing important steps and giving to students lots of material at the same stage. I am really looking forward to the next volume"
