Learning the Double Bass – or Upright Bass as it’s sometimes called, is a tremendous amount of fun. Remember though, learning any instrument – especially a monster like the Double Bass, can be quite tricky at the start.
If it’s your child who is learning to play, they’ll probably have the innate ability to act like a sponge; and almost always make things look easy. There are different sized instruments you can buy, specifically designed for children – it’s not easy playing the Upright Bass if you’re ten years old!
If you are starting the Double Bass as an adult, your learning curve is much steeper – and like waiting for the cab to arrive, your patience will be tested to the limits!
Reading some unbiased Upright Bass reviews will help you start in the right direction. There are so many options to choose from, our free advice should help you and give confidence where needed.
It’s also worth thinking about finding a teacher. A great teacher will make the difference of you loving the experience, or wanting to give up after five minutes. So please, please, spend time trying to find the right teacher for you.
There is no rule book on this. It’s a bit like dating – personality and not the size of the instrument is what counts!
