50 melodies grades 3 - 5.
This is the Treble Clef version - a Bass Clef version is also available.
In my experience as a performer and later as a Brass Teacher, I have been unable to find a suitable book of unaccompanied melodies for the student trombonist.
The playing and performing of melodies is, in my opinion a vital and also therapeutic part of tuition for the student instrumentalist.
This book is not a tutor, but is designed to help with problems of intonation and to encourage the playing of familiar and unfamiliar melodies in various keys.
I hope that as a trombonist, I have excluded the technical problems that often arise when writers are not performers of the instrument they have concerned themselves with.

Duet for cornet & Trombone or Cornet & Flugel
It is said that Rossini wrote this piece late in life while remembering the romantic exploits of his youth, when he used cat meows, in imitation of feline courting, to call his beloved to their nocturnal trysts. Whether true or not, this little piece can be used to great effect with audiences.
If the soloists memorise their music, they can begin to play while offstage, even from the back of the hall behind the audience, gradually converging on the stage to arrive together the bar before letter b. This situation gives the opportunity for talented performers to play and act the parts very freely, turning the Duet into a theatrical programme item.
The following points will be of interest to conductors and soloists: • The preferred solo pairing is a Cornet as first soloist with the second part taken by the trombone. • Otherwise the second solo part can be played by another cornet or flugel horn. • Both instruments should use the ‘wah-wah’ effect to the full, in order to imitate the meowing of cats. • If possible the whole of the Band accompaniment should be muted, but the Bb basses in particular can be played open. If it is necessary the band can play unmuted from the Baritones downwards.

Originally a violin solo;arranged as a cornet or euphonium solo.
Sarasate's famous Violin showpiece, a selection of gypsy songs and tunes, has been unsurprisingly widely adapted. Successively emotional, even tearful, then wildly energetic and spirited, what more could the extravert soloist ask ?
