Learning objectives:

Orchestral Parts and Solos for Double Bass 1 is directly related to the course Playing in the Orchestra. The aim of the course is individual preparation of double bass parts, especially in terms of bowing and fingering, and development of agile orientation when playing from the page. Its focus broadens the spectrum of the student's knowledge and skills to include those that will condition his/her possible future employment as a soloist and orchestral player. Emphasis is placed on the flexibility of technical mastery of compositions in the shortest possible time and mastery of the manner of playing in a symphony orchestra, instrumental and interpretative mastery of works of the orchestral repertoire, and careful acceptance of the teacher's comments. This develops, over a longer period of time, the technique and quality of the performance of the piece, contributing to the quality of the student's presentation in the course Playing in the Orchestra.
