Download or read book Full Range Studies for Trombone written by Mark Hendricks and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Full Range Studies for Trombone book is a complete step-by-step system that includes everything you need to develop and maintain your range, sound, endurance, and flexibility from Low E to Double High Bb ... and beyond! The Full Range Studies for Trombone book can be used by all trombone players, at any level of playing. Whether you''re a beginner, intermediate, advanced, comeback player, or professional - this book will be very valuable to you over the years to come.The "FRS" system consists of 18 studies. One study of the 18 should be played every other day on a rotation basis (1, 2, 3, 4...17, 18), and three times a week is recommended. You will do the complete rotation every 6 weeks. Don''t try to play all of the studies in one day, these are meant to build you up, not beat you up.Each study session will take you approximately 20-30 minutes to complete. If you rest correctly during the practice session, your embouchure should feel good, not beat up. If you feel beat up then you didn''t rest enough or you went too far in the study. Only goes as far in each study as you can without playing incorrectly. It does no good to practice incorrect habits. If you want to work on your pedal register, simply extend the exercises down into the lower octaves. A Few Things To Remember: - Be diligent in your practice, you will be rewarded for your discipline by following the routines in the 18 studies - using these studies in this step-by-step system will get you playing better, and much quicker, than a haphazard approach to practicing - Rest as much as you play and rest as much as you play within each practice session, you should still feel good at the end of each practice session - Always strive for a great sound on every note - Always play musically - don''t just play, make music - Slow and good is better than fast and bad - you will learn faster by practicing slowly, then speed up in small increments to improve your coordination to play faster and still sound good - Practice all of the articulations when indicated (S=Slur, T=Tongue, B=breath, etc.) - Use a metronome to help you improve your coordination as you speed things up - If you can''t reach some notes, give it three tries and then move on - they will come in time - Play with other people, whether it be duets, trios, quartets, quintets, band, orchestra, jazz ensemble, church services - get out there and rehearse, perform and make music with others - Each study is meant to be played once and then move to the next one on the next FRS practice day of the week (every other day, three days a week is fine). These are not technically hard, so you don''t have to "practice" them with repetition, so just move on to the next study in rotation. Just keep progressing step-by-step through the lessons - and start with Study 1 - When you get to the end of the 18 studies after 6 weeks, start at Study 1 again and continue through the studies to Study 18. Then once again go back to Study 1 and do the same, again and again for development and maintenance - As you advance in these studies, you can begin playing two phrases together without removing the mouthpiece and resting. Do the whole book this way (1-18 in rotation), then on the next time through the book do 3 phrases without removing the mouthpiece, and the next time through the book 4 times, etc. - always end your practice session feeling good so you can practice other things or perform later - Listen to great trombone players in all styles of music - this will help you know what a trombone is supposed to sound like so you can model your sound by emulating the best players around - Have fun!!

Book excerpt: Rangesongs develops your high and low ranges by using target notes in a musical context to encourage you to move your air properly. For the high range, Rangesongs offers forty songs designed to improve your range and endurance systematically by using two strategies: the phrases within each song are specifically composed to build melodically to a designated target note, providing a compelling musical incentive to support the tone with the proper air speed; and the songs proceed chromatically to reach a high C for gradual improvement. For the low range, Rangesongs offers sixty-five songs to extend the range downward in the same fashion to a pedal E-flat.

Download or read book The Advancing Trombone Player written by Mark Hendricks and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-06-24 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Advancing Trombone Player book is a complete step-by-step system that includes everything you need to build your embouchure, tone, technique, flexibility, tonguing, endurance, range, and musicianship. Written for those trombone players who are ready to achieve the highest levels of playing their horn. The "ATP" system consists of four sessions per day: warm-up, tonality study, Arban''s book studies, and endurance/range/musicianship studies. This will take approximately two hours per day divided into four sessions, with breaks in between. Don''t try to play all of the assignments in one session, you really do need the rest to keep your embouchure fresh all day and ready again for the next day. If you cannot commit to two hours per day, then go with one hour per day and play every other exercise in the lessons on day one, then on day two play the ones you skipped, on day three alternate back to the ones you played on day one, and so on back and forth throughout the week. And spend two weeks on each lesson instead of one week, or longer if needed, when using this pattern. IMPORTANT NOTE: The book has a total of 168 pages, which includes 8 pages of music for the warm-up routine session, 48 pages of music for the 12 tonality studies session, and 53 pages of music for the full range studies session, plus there are 52 pages of step-by-step lessons, one per page. For the fourth session of each lesson, you will need an Arban''s Complete Method for Trombone book (Alessi-Bowman 2002 edition). If you have a copy, please check it to make sure that the page numbers that I have used in The Advancing Trombone Player book matches with your Arban''s book. Here is a link to the edition that I used for this book - www.MPHmusic.com/go/arbanstromboneIf your page 139 in your Arban''s book is the beginning (#1) of the interval studies and page 323 begins the Characteristic Studies (#1), then you''re fine. A Few Things To Remember: - Be diligent in your practice, you will be rewarded for your discipline by following the routines in the 52 Lessons - use these lesson plans, this step-by-step system is designed to get you playing better, and much quicker, than a haphazard approach to practicing - Rest as much as you play within each practice session, you should still feel good at the end of each practice session - Always strive for a great sound on every note - Always play musically - Slow and good is better than fast and bad - you will learn faster by practicing slowly, then speed up in small increments to improve your coordination to play faster and still sound good - Practice all of the articulations when indicated (S=Slur, T=Tongue, etc.) - Use a metronome to help you improve your coordination as you speed things up - If you can''t reach some notes, give it three tries and then move on - they will come in time - Each lesson can last one week, or two weeks, or whatever time period you are comfortable with - just keep progressing step-by-step through the lessons - and start with Lesson 1 - When you get to the end of the 52 lessons, start at Lesson 1 then do Lesson 52, then 2 and 51, then 3 and 50, and so on until you''ve done 52 and 1, criss-crossing in the middle. After that use the warm-up and tonality sections daily to keep in shape and progress to other practice materials. You can always return to the ATP system for a review to work on specific areas of your playing, or if you take some time off and need to be a comeback trombone player all over again - Listen to great trombone players in all styles of music - this will help you know what a trumpet is supposed to sound like so you can model your sound by emulating the best players around - Have fun!!

Students can check off their progress after finishing the exercises in each section. In the first section students identity the letter name for each note of the scale while practicing the correct slide positions using the color-coded tablature. Students then play the scale using different articulation techniques. Finally, the student should learn to play the scale from memory. In the second section students practice scale patterns using the notes of the five-note scale. In the third section students practice etudes (melodic and technical studies) based on each five-note scale.

The etudes are a mixture of the rhythmic pattern and solo type. Problems of rhythm, technic, and range are dealt with logically and progressively and with ample preparation. In the case of the trombone, special emphasis was placed on writing exercises which would allow economy of slide movement through the use of substitute positions. The book is intended to be supplemental in nature and should be a value to the student by supplying additional material in certain developmental areas encountered in the student's regular method book.
