Albert
Robert Mueller (Muller)
was a German trombonist
born in 1849. He
initially received violin
lessons and discovered
his talent for trombone
playing at the age of
twelve. He eventually
settled in Leipzig and
became a member of the
Leipzig Gewandhaus
Orchestra as well as a
teacher at the Royal
Conservatory of Music. He
wrote the School for
Trombone in 1902.
(Wikipedia) The School
for Trombone (part of our
Vintage Brass Series, not
to be confused with the
Technical Etudes) is a
very detailed and
comprehensive book in
three volumes totalling
208 pages, the text being
divided into German,
English and Russian
languages. * Volume I
includes detailed lessons
on music theory including
all scales and keys,
rhythm, time signatures,
rests, accents,
accidentals, explanations
of tempo markings,
dynamics, posture, tone,
a table of positions and
notes. The lessons go
through different keys
starting very slowly and
methodically with short
exercises....not going
too fast for the
beginning student. Along
the way Mueller inserts
easy duets to perform
with teacher and student,
including many Bach
chorales, etc. to get
tuning and tone
solidified. * Volume II
for the intermediate
level student, begins
with the first studies of
slurs and legato. He
introduces simple songs
and famous melodies
including more duets. The
exercises get
progressively more
difficult and include the
entire collection of
ornaments. * Volume III,
for the more advanced
student, introduces tenor
and alto clefs in scales
and studies including
more duets. Compiled by
Gordon Cherry.
