PARIS IN STRING-TIME

Ten years with the Double Bass - a List of Bass Study Books

A useful listing of double bass studies and other instructional repertoire can be found online at the Médiathèque in Paris.  The series is called "10 Ans avec", and there are other listings for wind band, viola, and children's opera, with a harp listing promised shortly.

There, you see?  Bibliography sounds a dull word, but it's a gateway to lots of exciting stuff!

Compile or Share Reading Lists with Classmates or Staff

It's no secret!

Here's a quick tip for staff and students at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland:-



Looking at already compiled lists

If you log into your library account via the Whittaker Library catalogue, you can gather together books, music and recordings into a list.  Add a description or keywords if you like.


Even if you're NOT logged in, you can see lists you made earlier - and any lists that anyone else has chosen to share!

It's easy to see the value of this function.

• Teachers - compile a reading list for your students, and share it with them.  (We've done this for one of our teachers ... take a look by clicking on My Lists, and then Everybody's Lists)
• Students - keep a note of things you intend to read/have read
• Share a list of music with your class or ensemble
• Share a list of plays with other acting students
