  Re: What's your favorite method? Reply Contact I just bought the Arban book edited by Joe Alessi and Brian Bowman. I've been playing it everyday, for the sheer fun of it. I know it seems perverse, but the only books i've used before were melodious etudes and the Kopprasch, and I never was really engaged by the music in any of htem. The arban book is just such a change that i can't put it down. also, I'm noticing instant improvement in my technical skills. ----------------------------------- No Worries, She'll Be Right. --Dan Forman

  Re: What's your favorite method? Reply Contact The best methods for me are: 1. Remington warm-ups 2. fink-tenor clef 3. fink-studies in legato for bass trombone or tuba 4. Rochut-Melodious etudes for trombone 5. Blazevich-70 studies for tuba, book one 6. Tyrell-40 studies for BBb bass mostly the tuba stuff because it is so technical in the lower register, and the rochut and remington stuff for higher range.

  Re: What's your favorite method? Reply Contact I like the Rochut book and Blazevich but i like to play out of Pederson's Advanced Etudes for Bass Trombone. If you have never tried this book I would highly recomend you take a look at it. It has a wide variety or styles of music. Which will greatly help in your quest for better playing.

Reply Contact For Bass: I've only been playing base for a few months so I like Ostrander because of the drills and trigger coordination studies. The melodic stuff is good too I also like Lew Gills 70 etudes. Bach Cello suites are nice for musicality, tone, articulation etc. For general practice Arban's Remington Rochut
