Philip
Brink has spent his
entire career building
the knowledge to assemble
this major book on the
pedagogy of the Trombone.
Below are his words to
describe what the book
entails. Trombonist's
Toolkit was conceived as
exactly that: a resource
for troubleshooting one's
playing, for working out
problems, for advancing
one's playing skills. It
is NOT a method in the
traditional sense - no
weekly lessons, no
planned schedule for
arriving at a certain
point after a year, two
years, etc. The player
[you, the reader] can
search the topic list for
specific problems in need
of solution. Most of the
topics are organized by
general subject areas:
air, embouchure, range
building, etc. The source
for most of what I write
is my own personal
experience as student,
teacher, freelancer and
orchestral performer. I
owe a great debt of
gratitude to teachers,
mentors, colleagues and
students past and
present, for listening to
my playing, trying out my
concepts, putting up with
my questions and so
forth. Some of those
people are present, some
are far away, and sadly,
some are no longer
living. To all of them I
say Thank you, and I hope
those of you who read
this can recognize what
you told me! A word about
the organization of the
book: most of the
concepts requiring
practice and/or a
physical approach are
written out in a special
manner; explanatory text
is interspersed with
exercises detailing a
gradual approach to the
topic at hand. The
appendix contains a
number of exercises all
together, most of which
were developed for my
class at Mahidol
University College of
Music in Thailand. Philip
