Molly Sharp: Making Double Stops Ring: a guided exploration of Just Intonation

About the Book

A systematic and pragmatic guide that introduces Just Intonation tuning using double stops. This book guides you through every interval so that you understand the tuning of each interval in order to achieve maximum resonance. 

This workbook is also a prequel to learning how to play in chamber ensembles, where the musician needs to understand how to tune chords and intervals vertically.

Understanding how to tune intervals and understanding Just Intonation seems to be an area where many teachers assume that students will "figure it out" and eventually learn to hear intervals. 

My goal is to present this concept very clearly while leaving room for exploration and experimentation. This workbook is also a good resource for those who are visual learners.

Written specifically for the bass, every exercise is in bass clef and lies well on the instrument.
