A diverse collection of etudes for the advancing student that
contains a variety of material from some of the most popular etudes
for the instrument. The texts from which these studies have been
selected have been the core of trombone pedagogy for many,
many years. While there are numerous, high quality new trombone
studies available, the revered studies in this collection will provide
a large variety of challenges and repertoire to help develop tone,
technical facility, range, flexibility, articulation, and above all,
musical concepts. The etudes have been carefully selected and
edited by a prominent teacher on the instrument and arranged in a
good pedagogical sequence and there is a helpful section on how
to practice and prepare these etudes.
This is a welcome addition to the repertoire for students studying
privately and wanting to improve their skills. A must-have for any
serious student and private instructor.
