Aharoni
 New Method for Bass Trombone 4/E
  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), and three for independant valves (Bb/F/G/Eb - 11 pp; Bb/F/Gb/D - 10 pp) and a section for "other combinations." In addition there is an appendix for a single valve with sliding F attachment not commonly in use. Despite the sections and their intended uses, the book as a whole contains nearly 200 etudes that are challenging and instructive, regardless of your horn's setup. This book is especially useful in the development of the low register, as many etudes either concentrate or employ material well into the trigger and pedal registers. 180 pages. Elizar Aharoni studied in the United States and is the bass trombonist with the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra.

Bitsch
 Rhythmical Studies (14)
  These 14 etudes are very similar, but not an exact translation of the famous tenor trombone book. Level of difficulty is high, with Bitsch's characteristic way of rhythmically obscuring the barline prevalent throughout. Used at the college level to develop excellence in rhythmic reading and overall skill. --cdp

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

Blazhevich

  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 2 contains numbers 43 through 70. 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

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 independant 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 addition to the first valve. Most books on bass trombone technique omit this obvious yet incredibly important issue. Although the book advocates for the less popular "Bb/F/G/Eb" tuning, the etudes still work well for the more prevalent "Bb/F/Gb/D" tuning. If you are a bass trombonist, and you donot routinely use your second valve MORE than your first, then you should check out this book. Your skill on the instrument can only improve. For instruments with two independant valves. --cdp

Bordogni
 Bel Canto Studies (43) (Roberts)
  Compiled and edited by Chestar Roberts. These transcriptions of Marco Bordogni's Italian vocalises are ideal for musical training on tuba or bass trombone. The tessitura, ranging from Bb below the staff to roughly top-space Bb, is ideal for tubists seeking to develop range with a musical approach. This same tessitura lies well on the bass trombone, and gives plenty of opportunities for development of valve technique. --cdp

Bordogni
 Bordogni for Bass Trombone, w/CD (Schwartz)
  Includes 27 selected vocalises, all set in the keys chosen by Allen Ostrander for his 1970 Carl Fischer edition. The companion CD includes synthesized piano accompaniments. Two bonus tracks provide accompaniment at Bordogni/Ostrander's perhaps too-fast tempo.

Bordogni
 Melodious Etudes (Ostrander)
  Similar to the "Rochut" book for tenor trombone, this volume uses many of the same etudes, transposed into keys that better take advantage of the range and triggers of the bass trombone.

Bordogni
 Vocalises Complete (Jacobs)
  Includes all 120 "Melodious Etudes" here placed in octaves appropriate for tuba or bass trombone. Compiled and edited by Wesley Jacobs, principal tubist of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. The development of a beautiful legato style is of primary importance to all tubists. These vocal studies by Bordogni have been used by the finest artists on all brass instruments for generations. The definitive book on the art of legato style-singing, lyrical tuba playing. Suitable for tubas in all keys (BBb, CC, Eb, F). For players at all levels. 200 pages. Spiral bound. M800004025 - 9790800004025. NOTE: This book is a direct replacement for three separate volumes, now out of print, published as "Legato Etudes, volumes 1, 2 & 3," (our catalog numbers 40443, 40444 & 40445).

Cherubini
 Studies (5) (Goudenhooft) [w/piano]
  For use with or without the included piano accompaniment book. Cherubini lived from 1760-1842, and these 5 substantial etudes (actually more like elaborate character pieces) are indicitive of his musical period. These etudes/studies are more technical than lyrical in nature and encompass a tessitura that fits the bass trombone perfectly. --cdp

 Etudes (20)
  A collection of 20 original etudes primarily focused on technical development, but with a particular emphasis on melodic content.

Gillis
 Progressive Studies (70)
  Includes 60 studies in the use of the F attachment valve, 10 studies in the pedal notes, and a circle of keys scale study. These are technical studies, intended to help the player master the F valve while obtaining excellence in playing quickly up and down the horn's standard register. Although not specifically annotated for double valve instruments, with your pencil marks these etudes nonetheless make for excellent second-valve practice on independant valve setups. 44 pages -cdp

Green
 Pro Slide Studies, v.1
  These studies were written in an attempt to bridge the gap in bass trombone material. These are studies in all the major and minor keys with a final extended atonal study which is almost an unaccompanied piece. Some are rather tricky, but I have tried tocover a wide mixture of styles as well as the entire range of the modern instrument. For advanced players. -- the author
