Trombone - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1468667 Composed by Sarah Paradis. Instructional. Educational Method. 62 pages. Gordon Cherry #1046909. Published by Gordon Cherry (A0.1468667). Smooth Sailing - A Comprehensive Legato Method for the Beginning Trombonist by Sarah Paradis is a must have new publication whose title speaks for itself.Here is what noted Professor of Trombone, Peter Ellefson has to say about Dr. Paradis' new work:Smooth Sailing is the book that has been hitherto absent in the development of the beginning trombonist. Vague, often misguided descriptions of trombone legato in band books are common. Dr. Sarah Paradis, through a systematic, step-by-step approach, demystifies trombone legato for the player and the non-trombone playing band director. It is a vital supplement to the existing literature for the beginner.  Smear no more!!!!

Trombone Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.792321 Composed by Teagarden, Jack. 20th Century,Instructional,Jazz. Individual part. 12 pages. Gordon Cherry #4804567. Published by Gordon Cherry (A0.792321). Musical legend, Jack Teagarden is regarded as one of the finest jazz Trombonists of all time. His relatively unknown HIGH TONE STUDIES FOR TROMBONE were written in 1936. Teagarden's studies are designed to teach the student how to reach into the high register up to high D, through the patient and slow practice of four introductory warm-ups and fifty-one progressively difficult exercises. None of the studies are more than three lines in length, forcing the student to rest frequently in his own words. In reading through his concise instructions at the beginning of the book, it is obvious that Teagarden had put a lot of thought into his technique. These studies are appropriate for intermediate to advanced performers. Cherry Classics is proud to have teamed up with his son, Joe and the Teagarden Estate, to bring this book back to life.

Bass Trombone,Instrumental Solo,Piano - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1130164 Composed by Elizabeth Raum. Contemporary. Score and individual part. 17 pages. Gordon Cherry #730529. Published by Gordon Cherry (A0.1130164). Here is a brief description of this very fine new work, The Secret of Ben Søgen for Bass Trombone and Piano by the composer, Elizabeth Raum: I’ve always been fascinated by the Nordic heroes that appear in comic books and video games like Thor or Odin. Years ago, I wrote a concerto for tuba called The Legend of Heimdall inspired by Scandinavian folklore, and for this new work for bass trombone, I found myself drawn to the Danish mythical character, Ben Søgen. My concept was to conjure up a video game champion who goes through various adventures to achieve his final quest. However, the Secret of Ben Søgen is that he doesn’t exist. I made him up. My original title was Bone Quest, a pun on the word, trombone, combined with Quest but that didn’t evoke the image I wanted so I decided to create a character from the Danish translation of Bone Quest. Thus Ben Søgen. The Hero Bass Trombonist has a theme stated in the beginning, and this motif continues through a variety of backgrounds (or adventures) before the final major key of his goal being achieved. The work is about 7 minutes in length and appropriate for advanced performers. This work has been edited for bass trombone by Gordon Cherry.

Trombone Solo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.810972 Composed by Mueller, Robert. Arranged by Cherry, Gordon. Instructional. Individual part. 208 pages. Gordon Cherry #4309377. Published by Gordon Cherry (A0.810972). Albert Robert Mueller (Müller) was a German trombonist born in 1849. He initially received violin lessons and discovered his talent for trombone playing at the age of twelve. He eventually settled in Leipzig and became a member of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra as well as a teacher at the Royal Conservatory of Music. He wrote the School for Trombone in 1902. (Wikipedia) The School for Trombone (part of our Vintage Brass Series, not to be confused with the Technical Etudes) is a very detailed and comprehensive book in three volumes totalling 208 pages, the text being divided into German, English and Russian languages. • Volume I includes detailed lessons on music theory including all scales and keys, rhythm, time signatures, rests, accents, accidentals, explanations of tempo markings, dynamics, posture, tone, a table of positions and notes. The lessons go through different keys starting very slowly and methodically with short exercises....not going too fast for the beginning student. Along the way Mueller inserts easy duets to perform with teacher and student, including many Bach chorales, etc. to get tuning and tone solidified.  • Volume II for the intermediate level student, begins with the first studies of slurs and legato. He introduces simple songs and famous melodies including more duets. The exercises get progressively more difficult and include the entire collection of ornaments. • Volume III, for the more advanced student, introduces tenor and alto clefs in scales and studies including more duets.  Compiled by Gordon Cherry
