Done with your beginning book?
Not quite ready for advanced books?
Here’s your answer!
In this book (132 pages) you’ll find:
• Lip Slurs – to refine embouchure control
• Pattern-Building – for facility and understanding
• Lyrical Legato – to build a beautiful singing sound
• Varied Articulation – for clarity and technique
• Simple Tunes – for enjoyment and ‘key sense’
Duet parts for 100 of these etudes are available to purchase as a download.
The Intermediate Trombonist: Building Blocks for Tone and Technique by Brad Edwards provides a bridge from beginning methods to more advanced trombone study. The 132-page book brings together 20 lip-slur studies, 40 pattern-building exercises, 40 lyrical studies, 40 articulation studies, and 20 tunes presented in multiple keys. A suggested six-minute warm-up helps frame this material as regular, balanced practice.
The sections address different sides of trombone playing: flexibility and embouchure control, fluency through changing patterns, connected legato, and clean articulation. The tunes offer a way to hear familiar musical ideas in new keys rather than approaching every key as an unfamiliar set of notes.
Additional material covers topics such as tuning, upper-register development, tenor clef, and use of the F attachment. The structure gives teachers room to select material for individual needs while keeping tone and musical phrasing central.
