Prior to joining the New York Philharmonic, he was second trombone of the Philadelphia Orchestra for four seasons and principal trombone of L’Orchestre Symphonique de Montreal for one season. Best of all, the book itself is spiral-bound so as to lay flat on the music stand, a most welcome innovation!

With the invaluable contributions of two exceptionally talented brass musicians, this volume brings Arban's remarkable work into the 21st century, infusing his concepts and methods with newfound significance. The Arban method is so voluminous that we can find exercises from a basic level (although not initiation), up to exercises typical of virtuoso trombonists. In 1936, two of the finest trombonists of the day, Charles Randall and Simone Mantia, revised the method for trombone, creating the basis for trombone studies over the ensuing 75 years.Both of these gentlemen bring impeccable credentials to the task, and their comments provide wonderful insights into each of their individual approaches to musical and technical matters. Alessi Music Studios has a very in depth section on how Joe Alessi recommends you work out of this book. It's the 4th section, marked "piu moderato" or "more moderate" - which tells me it is not intended to be especially quick - where I stub my tongue. You can obviously add more clefs/keys, but this covered the clefs that a Tenor trombonist uses generally, and all of the keys once you applied this to the majority of the book.

Now, over 100 years later, it is used all over the world, It is used anywhere and everywhere that people are serious about becommg great performers on brass instruments. Some of the fantasies do lay pretty well on the horn and that is where my best chance of speed can be achieved.

He has performed with the San Francisco Ballet Orchestra and was a soloist with the San Francisco Symphony before continuing his musical training at Philadelphia’s Curtis Institute of Music. Sehr empfehlenswert, es wird kein technischer Aspekt ausgelassen und es gibt in jedem Kapitel sehr viele Etüden.
