progressions.

A few words
from the preface of the
book:
Applying
good phrasing to music is
like using good
punctuation in written or
spoken language. It
involves the grouping of
ideas to make the meaning
of the words clear to the
listener. The words are
grouped into sentences,
and the sentences are
then grouped into
paragraphs. The same is
true when interpreting a
piece of music.
Good phrasing
requires a musician to
interpret the notes he
plays, and determine
which notes need to be
grouped together to form
a complete musical idea.
Each song in Jazz
Phrasing for Trombone is
designed to train your
ear to hear the logical
grouping of phrases
through the use of
sequence and thematic
development.
While the art of
good phrasing involves
the interpretation of
note groupings and their
relationships, it also
involves deciding where
you're going to take a
breath.
Read the
following sentences aloud
to compare examples of
good and bad phrasing.
Good phrasing,
spoken in one continuous
breath:
Ladies
and gentlemen, it gives
me great pleasure to
introduce the senior
class president.
Bad phrasing,
spoken with extra
breaths, disrupting the
flow and grouping of the
words:
Ladies and
gentlemen, it gives
(breath) me great
pleasure to introduce the
senior class (breath)
president.
The
difference between these
two sentences is very
similar to the difference
between a professional
musician's phrasing and a
student's phrasing. Both
may be playing the
correct notes with the
correct rhythm, but the
professional musician
knows how to group the
notes in a smooth,
flowing fashion, while
the student takes breaths
at random, not even aware
that he's disrupting the
phrasing.
Jazz
Phrasing for Trombone has
been carefully designed
to help you learn to
phrase like a
professional player.
These are pieces
that will be fun for all
musicians who love
melodic writing with good
thematic
development..
