What the Double Bass world is saying:
Rabbath's method is superior because it immediately deals with music. You're playing some challenging, complex, but not frustrating pieces. It's good music, so all of my students like working on his method. It makes learning very easy.
The New Technique is an efficient method of learning to play the double bass. It is usable by all levels of players, including advanced players who wish to polish and perfect their playing. The organization, thoroughness, and philosophical basis make it truly a new technique. Rabbath has an extraordinary grasp of his own processes, both technical and cognitive, and communicates them effectively and enthusiastically.
What I have learned and am still learning has transformed my playing and teaching as well as my life.
I have been studying the New Technique by François Rabbath for many years and it has made a remarkable difference in my abilities and in the approach that I take each time I pick up the bass
Rabbath's astonishing New Technique will influence, enrich and stimulate future generations of bass players. For those who persevere and are open-minded enough to adopt and absorb Rabbath's very personalized approach, the investment might prove one of the best they ever made.
A thousand thanks for giving bass players throughout the world such a marvellous contribution, the richest and most substantial since Nanny and Simandl. My students and I will learn much and shall be eternally grateful for your help and inspiration.
