Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I am sure that the orchestra teacher in your school can teach you!. Unlike an electric bass, the upright has no frets - which actually allows you to compensate fro intonation, yet demands you LEARN where the correct position are!. Yes, you will learn both arco (bow) and pizzicato (plucked)!. You will also decide whether you want to use an overhand (french) or underhand (German) style bow!. can you read bass cleg=f already!? If not, go to www!.practicespot!.com and do some worksheets and exercises - you will be that much further ahead!. Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com
