		Aharoni  New Method for Bass Trombone, 4th edition   Aharoni's magnum opus is a collection of technical etudes designed for players of instruments with one or two valves. The title represents the fact in the year of the first edition's publication, very few books were available for players who specialized on bass trombone. This book is divided into nine principal sections, two for single valve (single F - 57 pages; single F tuned to E - 16 pages), three for dependant double valve (flat E - 22 pp; Eb - 21 pp; D - 25 pp), ...

		Bitsch  Rhythmical Studies (14) (Greiner)   These 14 etudes are very similar to, but not an exact translation of the famous tenor trombone book. Differences include "missing" measures and patches of different musical material. Level of difficulty is high, with Bitsch's characteristic way of rhythmically obscuring the barline prevalent throughout. These are famous for their ability to help players gain a mastery of complex and/or unexpected rhythms. Used in many college level programs, each etude is in essence a...

		Blazhevich   NEW ITEM!  Low Range Studies (Vernon)   Low Range Studies for Trombone is a subset of etudes from the famous School for Trombone in Clefs (aka "Clef Studies"). They have been selected, transposed, edited and annotated by Chicago Symphony Orchestra bass trombonist Charles Vernon. Mr. Vernon has selected 60 of his favorite studies to help tenor trombonists with low range development, and to provide bass trombone players with some extra "bread and butter range" etudes.

		Blazhevich  Studies (70), v.1   The 70 Studies of Blazhevich are perhaps one of the most important study books ever published for the tuba. The studies are clearly technical in nature, but unlike many standard etude books, there is also an implied emphasis on musical playing as well. Volume 1 contains numbers 1 through 42. Published for tuba, the overall tessitura of the music is "well below the staff" to "in the staff," making it an important part of the bass trombonist's library as well. --cdp Read More   Item: 01209 Price: $17.20	Qty: View Shopping Cart

		Bollinger  Valve Technique for Bass Trombone   Subtitled "You've Got TWO Valves, Use BOTH," this book has been needed in the bass trombone world ever since the development and widespread use of the independent valve system. Blair Bollinger here lays out 91 pages of exercises and sage advice about [finally] putting that second valve to the most efficiant use possible. Perhaps the most important thing to understand here is that Bollinger is advocating the use of the second valve by itself, as well as in combination...

		Bordogni  Bel Canto Studies (43) (Roberts)   Compiled and edited by Chester Roberts. These transcriptions of Marco Bordogni's Italian vocalises are ideal for musical training on tuba or bass trombone.

		Gallay  Etudes (30), op 13 (King)   From the horn repertoire comes this transcription of a study book originally intended for hand horn (i.e. valveless horn). As such, the etudes are initially ripe with arpeggiation based figures, but become quite chromatic and much more difficult as the pages turn. Most of the etudes are clearly technical in nature, with sequential passages and repetition. The tessitura of this edition is mostly in the staff, with a few passages briefly running just below. Appropriate ... Read More   Item: 14351 Price: $30.55	Qty: View Shopping Cart
		Gallay  Grand Etudes Brillantes (12), op 43 (Fatch)   Taken from the horn repertoire, these twelve etudes explore sequence, leaps and rhythmic patterns in addition to many other aspects of playing. The tessitura of the etudes is generally a ledger or two below the staff to near top line A. Keys are C or various flat keys. Like the Tyrell etudes, they can easily be played in their associated sharp key by imagining a different signature (e.g. Bb to B, Eb to E, etc.). Most are on the long side, running an average of 20 lines... Read More   Item: 31917 Price: $22.20	Qty: View Shopping Cart

		Goudenhooft  Apercu du Trombone Basse Double Noix, v.1   A collection of 42 etudes designed to familiarize the player with the double valve bass trombone. Though the book was written at a time when all basses used dependant valves, this book is appropriate for independent valved instruments as well. Many are in duet form, with the idea that a tenor trombonist would play the upper line to compliment the bass line. The two parts are not identical, but are instead often in counterpoint (the tenor trombone part is not required ... Read More   Item: 07450 Price: $31.95	Qty: View Shopping Cart

The etudes focus entirely on F trigger technique, without the added burden of other technical issues. The exercises teach C, B and Bb in the staff, as well as F, E, Eb and later, D, below the staff.
