Solo Training for Trombone

Solo Training for Trombone Solo Training for Trombone features etudes based on original solos for trombone including: Cavatine by St. Saens - Andante and Allegro by Barat - Sonata #1 by Galliard - Sonata in F Major by Marcello - Morceau Symphonique by Guilmant - Concerto by Rimsky-Korsakov - Concertino by David - Grand Concerto by Grafe (These routines have a dual purpose: to provide exercises that will help you carefully practice and prepare some of the standard works in the repertoire and to provide a daily dose of technical work using real music that is recognizable and well-liked by trombonists. Working on these studies will teach the value of breaking the music into chunks, isolating specific weaknesses in your playing and devising a strategy that will gradually, but unfailingly, bring you to a point where your weaknesses have become strengths. These exercises include many that I’ve often wanted to teach my students during lessons but are too complex to teach on the spot, by ear. They also include ways in which I encourage my students to adapt their warm-up and technical work when they are preparing one of these solos. This book is certainly not exhaustive, but rather presents examples to get your mind thinking of creative ways to teach yourself, generating exercises on the spot that will remedy the difficulties you encount)
