With ?The Techniques of Trombone Playing?, Mike Svoboda has written a book conceived as a valuable guide for composers and trombonists. It familiarises composers with contemporary trombone techniques and shows how to put them to creative use. Furthermore it helps trombonists to view and employ their versatile instrument as a multi-functional sound generator. Together with composer Michel Roth, Mike Svoboda explores what might today be called ?the unlimited expansion of new performance possibilities?: micro-intervals, multiphonics and the combination of the trombone sound with the human voice ? all accurately described and illustrated with many annotated music examples. ? Includes many tables and music examples on the basics and expanded techniques of trombone playing ? Practical information on mutes, repertoire, etc. ? With 92 sound files and 5 newly composed études which can be downloaded from the Bärenreiter website The authors Since September 2007 Mike Svoboda has been professor of trombone and contemporary chamber music at the Basel Academy of Music (Switzerland). Of formative importance to his artistic development was his nearly 11-year collaboration with Karlheinz Stockhausen in the 1980s and 1990s. His exchanges with Stockhausen and other composers, such as Peter Eötvös, Beat Furrer, Helmut Lachenmann, Wolfgang Rihm and Frank Zappa, allowed him to premiere more than 400 works over the last 30 years. Michel Roth is professor of composition and music theory at the Basel Academy of Music and a member of their research department. As a composer, he has been a regular guest at various international music festivals and more recently particularly in the area of music theatre. Numerous radio and CD productions document his compositional output for which he has also been awarded the composition prize by Music Viva, Munich. In addition Roth also researches and publishes on subjects concerned with music and art theory.

Les auteurs ont conçu - avec l'aide de professeurs d'instruments - une méthode permettant d'avoir un outil à la fois ludique et vivant pour l'enfant, et le plus précis possible pour le professeur, tout en permettant à celui-ci d'enseigner suivant sa propre sensibilité musicale. Les avantages, non exhaustifs, de la formation musicale par l'orchestre : - un rapport beaucoup plus direct et moins abstrait entre le solfège et la pratique instrumentale (tout l'apprentissage solfégique étant directement lié à l'instrument que l'élève a choisi) - passer par l'oral avant l'écrit - une formation auditive plus développée, due aux partitions interprétées par différents instrumentistes - une meilleure compréhension/analyse des oeuvres proposées grâce à la pratique instrumentale - développer l'autonomie de l'élève - la pratique instrumentale collective au sein de ce cours donnera l'envie (dès que l'élève aura le niveau suffisant) de rejoindre un des ensembles instrumentaux du conservatoire ou de l'école de musique Chaque volume de Symphonic FM se présente sous la forme d'un livre de l'élève (choisi en fonction de l'instrument pratiqué) et d'un livre du professeur. A partir du volume 5, nous avons changé la présentation des livres des élèves pour des raisons pratiques (densité de l'ouvrage). Il y a désormais : un cahier principal comportant ce qui est commun à tous les instruments une partie séparée spécifique à chaque instrument comportant les duos instrumentaux, les versions instrumentales des chants et les pratiques instrumentales. Ainsi, chaque élève achètera non plus le correspondant à la famille de son instrument mais le cahier de son propre instrument.
