Foreward by Bill Geldard :

Back in the days when I began playing the Bass Trombone, there was only one, or two at the most Method Books for Bass Trombone, and they were American inports.

I started writing these exercises to help me, in partucular, making the valve tones match the sound of the open notes. Some of these exercises owe their life to things I encountered in the recording and film studios.

The Bass Trombone ( courtesy of George Roberts ) became the "flavour of the month" with arrangers and composers. One MD arranger that I did sessions for liked the sound of the bass trombone so much that his trombone section was four basses rather than the usual three tenors and a bass - Happy Days !

I have enlarged the section on scales to include exercises on whole-tone, dimished etc. These are not often found in conventional study books, but are very useful these days.

I hope you enjoy this book and get the benefit from the exercises - I know I did.
