Janice Tucker Rhoda's phenomenally successful series, The ABCs of Bass, owes much of its success to the wonderful original material and to the sensitive arrangements of classical, folk, fiddle, rock 'n' roll, jazz and other popular melodies. After many years of teaching children and adults the author has developed a simple and enjoyable approach for studying the String Bass.
