Melodic Studies for Trombone

“Varied pieces from talented composers, written for trombonists who are not afraid of a challenge” - that sums up this book in one sentence. The 19 solo pieces in this collection are not intended for beginners, but will appeal to many trombonists. They are valuable études and - thanks to their melodic character - entertaining performance pieces at the same time. Players can take inspiration from Ian Bousfield, whose recordings of all the pieces are available online in MP3 format, and then go on to develop their own interpretation.
