 Adrian
Morris, Professor of Bass Trombone at the Royal Northern College of
Music and Salford University and Principal Bass Trombone of the Hallé
Orchestra presents his selection of fifteen beautiful slow tunes - ideal
for tone development.
Bass Trombone performance notes and technique tips for
each melody.
Performance standard - easy to moderately difficult.
Peter Moore
says: "In my many years of teaching, I have found that
most students won't practice long note exercises because they are
so dreadfully boring. I could not find enough interesting slow music
for students to play - so we wrote Tone-Ups and Adrian's book is the latest
in the series"
This book has fifteen carefully selected titles, complete
with performance notes for each piece, for you to enjoy playing.
You will also develop your embouchure technique at the same time".
Christian Jones says in "The Trombonist", May 2008:
".........I have often wondered how such an accomplished
musician approaches trombone playing and Dr Downing's Bass Trombone Tone-Ups
provides a valuable insight for us all.
The idea of this book is to provide trombonists with famous, slow
melodies to practise and perform, instead of simply playing long notes,
to acquire a better sound..........................these apparently easy
melodies are a real challenge for any player to perform well"

Shirley Hartlett, retired Headmistress of Shenington
School, Nr Banbury, England says:
"I get frustrated when I buy a book of music and
find that I can only manage to play one or two pieces. With Tone-Ups
I can play them all!"
Stan Barrett, retired drama teacher and semi-pro
clarinettist from Market Bosworth, England says:
"The 'Tone-Ups' are a joy to use. Not only
do they take the tedium out of long-note practice, but they are also sprinkled
with technical and interpretive challenges. The writers know where
we're likely to need help. They isolate each problem and tell us,
in straightforward language, what to do about it. Excellent.
