“Born in Calais in 1946, Yves Demarle studied at the Paris Conservatoire where he won first prize for Trombone. He then went on to play with the Orchestre de Paris. His Flexibility for Tenor Trombone, therefore, is very well-informed. This volume is essential to trombonists who already have experience of the instrument. Flexibility for Tenor Trombone addresses use of the tongue in conjuction with the air column, and are to be practised alongside the student's usual technical studies. All exercises should be practised up to the seventh position and repeated until they can be played with perfect synchronisation between the lips, tongue and jaw. With detailed instruction in French, English, German and Spanish, Demarle's Flexibility for Tenor Trombone is essential to the progression of technique of all aspiring trombonists.&rdquo.

Read below what Roger Smith had to say about completing this momumental work from the manuscripts of Ernest Williams. We are all thankful for his hard work: 'The Ernest S. Williams Modern Method for Trumpet or Cornet is generally recognized by teachers and students alike as the finest and most complete ' School ' for Trumpet and Cornett hat has ever been written. Both the technical and the musical aspects of these volumes reflect the genius of Dr. Williams as a musician, and as a teacher.' 'I was privileged to study both Trombone and Baritone with Dr. Williams, in fact he was my only teacher on either instrument. After graduation from the Ernest Williams School of Music, I became a member of the faculty, and assisted Dr. Williams with the teaching of Brasses, under his direct guidance, and using this material. Dr. Williams commenced the revision of the books at that time for Trombone and Baritone, a task which he was never to complete. This revision, based largely on his manuscripts, is the result of my training as his pupil and assistant, and of my experience as teacher of Trombone at the Juilliard School of Music.' 'The principal problems were two; proper introduction of the positions on the trombone, which are more difficul to learn than the valve combinations on Baritone or Trumpet, and the contrasting techniques of legato and slur on the two instruments. For these reasons some chapters of the book have been revised considerably, and some new material added from time to time.' If you do not know this book, you have to take a look.

This new edition of Jean Baptiste Arban's Fourteen Characteristic Studies for Trombone, edited by Alan Raph, was specifically written to provide the student with suitable material with which to test his powers of endurance, according to Arban himself.
The following fourteen studies have been specifically written to provide the student withsuitable material with which to test his powers of endurance. In taking up these studies, he willdoubtless be fatigued, especially at the outset, by those numbers requiring an unusual length ofbreath. However, through careful study and experience he will learn to overcome the difficultiesand will acquire the resources which will enable him to master this particular phase of playingwith ease. As a means to this end, attention is drawn to cantabile passages in particular, whichshould be played with the utmost expression, yet at the same time with as much modified toneas possible. On the cornet, as with the voice, clear tones may be obtained by widening thelips and veiled tones by contracting them. This happy circumstance allows the performer anopportunity to rest while still continuing to play, and at the same time enables him to introduceeffective contrasts into the execution. It should be noted that by little artifices of this kind, andby skillfully conserving his resources, the player will reach the end of the longest and mostfatiguing pieces, not only without difficulty, but even with a reserve of strength and power,which, when brought to bear on the final measures of a performance, never fails to impress anaudience.At this point my task as professor (using the written instead of the spoken word) willend. There are things which appear clear enough when stated verbally but which when writtendown on paper cause confusion, seem obscure, and even sometimes appear trivial.There are other things of such an elevated and subtle nature that neither speech norword can clearly explain them. They are felt, they are conceived, but they are not to be explained;and yet these things constitute the elevated style, the grand ecole, which it is my ambition toestablish for the cornet, just as they already exist for singing and for the various kinds of otherinstruments.Those of my readers who are ambitious and who want to attain this high level ofperfection, should above all things, always try to hear good music well interpreted. Theymust seek out, among singers and instrumentalists, the most illustrious models, and by doingthis purify their taste, develop their sentiments, and bring themselves as near as possible tothat which is beautiful. Perhaps then the innate spark which may someday be destined todemonstrate their own talent, will reveal itself and render them worthy of being, in their turn,cited and imitated in the future.

Trio Flex is a clever concept that offers you a range of possible options. As well as a demo version played by live instruments, the enclosed CD contains two play-along tracks for each piece. One track features the combo only, and the other track features the combo plus the second and third parts of the trio. Peter Kleine Schaars has arranged ten well-known numbers for three wind instruments in various styles and genres. Play the melody with the combo on the CD, or play the trio version with the other two recorded parts. That will sound great in itself. But you can also form a trio with two co-players, and have yourselves accompanied by the combo on the CD. No matterwihich variation you choose, get ready for a musical experience that will amaze your audience!

Trio-Flex is een uitgekiend concept dat verschillende mogelijkheden met zich meebrengt. De meegeleverde cd bevat - naast een live ingespeelde demoversie - van elk nummer twee begeleidingstracks. Op de ene track hoor je alleenhet combo en op de andere track hoor je het combo met daarbij de tweede en derde stem van het trio.Fun Favorites Peter Kleine Schaars bewerkte tien bekende nummers voor drie spelers in diverse genres en stijlen. Speel demelodie met het combo op de cd, of speel de trioversie met de tegenstemmen. Dat klinkt al geweldig. Maar je kunt ook met twee medespelers een trio vormen en je door het combo op de cd laten begeleiden. Welke variant je ook kiest:bereid je voor op een muzikale belevenis die je publiek versteld zal doen staan!

Trio-Flex ist ein cleveres Konzept, das verschiedene Möglichkeiten bietet. Neben einer live eingespielten Demoversion enthält die beiliegende CD zwei Mitspielversionen jedes Stückes. Eine wird nur von der Combo gespielt, die andere von der Combo zusammen mit der zweiten und dritten Stimme des Trios.Peter Kleine Schaars arrangierte zehn bekannte Titel für drei Posaunen in verschiedenen Genres und Musikstilen. Die Melodie zur Combo auf der CD gespielt oder die Trioversion mit den Gegenstimmen auf der CD - das alleine klingt schon wunderbar. Am schönsten ist allerdings, wenn sich zwei Mitspieler finden und dann im Trio zur Combo-Begleitung auf der CD musiziert werdenkann. Ganz egal, für welche Variante man sich entscheidet: Es wird eine musikalische Erfahrung, die jedes Publikum begeistert!

Trio Flex est un concept malin qui offre plusieurs possibilités de jeu. Chaque pièce est enregistrée dans trois versions : une version intégrale, jouée par un vrai combo, suivie de deux versions play-along qui correspondent une version combo seul et une version combo avec les les voix 2 et 3. Peter Kleine Schaars a arrangé dix morceaux orientés grand public, de styles et de genres variés, pour trois instruments vent. Il y a plusieurs options de jeu : jouer la ligne mélodique avec l'accompagnement du combo seul, jouer la ligne mélodique avec la version combo + voix 2 et 3 ou encore former un trio avec deux amis jouant du même instrument et swinguer avec les musiciens ducombo. Quelle que soit l'option choisie, vous ferez sensation auprès du public!

Fun Favorites è una pubblicazione basata sul concetto di TRIO-FLEX; si può quindi fare musica con tre strumentisti, da soli con il combo, o da soli con il combo e le parti del trio.

For the teacher of instrumental music classes, individual differences among students are inevitable. Unfortunately, the lack of flexible materials frequently forces teachers to adopt a quasi-instructional procedure best described as lockstep, where all students in the class rehearse each exercise until the slow members of the class succeed or until the teacher gives up. The Individualized Instructor was designed with the expectation that students are different. With this method, high-, average-, and low-achieving students in a class are able to progress simultaneously at their own rate according to their interest and ability. In addition, the flexibility of the instructional format often allows twelve or more students to perform different musical material simultaneously, thereby eliminating the “follow the leader” approach to music learning. All study materials in the series are musical. Nonmusical exercises are excluded in favor of folk song literature, musical rounds, and musical ensembles. Furthermore, The Individualized Instructor encourages students to think about their music: to analyze unfamiliar material, generalize previously learned concepts and skills, and synthesize all elements into a musically proficient performance. In addition, this series develops many fundamentals (tonality, phrasing, tempo, and musical style) through the use of the singing voice. Singing best provides the “musical” experience that, subsequently, can be applied to the development of musically sensitive instrumental performance. Books 1, 2, and 3 and the supplementary books ensure that these fundamental ideas are carried well beyond the first year of instruction.
