Foreword

I love playing these because they are beautifully melodic and every note is

coming from or going to a natural slur. This promotes sustaining and blowing

through the notes. I have been playing and teaching this way all my career and it is

wonderful to find a book that covers the basics of teaching the "one note followed by

another with nothing in between " concept.

I think you have really hit the essence of Arnold Jacobs’ teaching. This makes

it easy: just blow air and move your lips and slide with the rhythm.

Thank you, Brad Edwards!!

Introduction

Most trombonists use lip slurs in their daily routines. These exercises help with

embouchure control and strength. By removing the tongue from the equation,

players are forced to rely on their air to generate the notes.

A few years ago I published another book, Lip Slurs (Ensemble Publications), to

add some variety to the daily “lip slur diet.” I finished that book with 20 lip slur

melodies. Over the years, I’ve received wonderful feedback about that book,

including requests that I write more of these lip slur melodies.

Well, here you go! This book has over 100 etudes and 33 duets relying

exclusively on the natural slurs of a trombone. They are designed for the common

F-attachment tenor trombone, although one section is meant exclusively for the

double-valve bass trombone. They progress from easy to quite challenging.

I would like to thank Dr. Justin Isenhour for helping me proofread this book.

Enjoy!


Table of Contents:

Part 1: Getting Started ..................................................................... 1 Easier tunes that introduce the concept of lip slur melodies. Introduces common alternate positions and trigger notes. (17 etudes)

Part 2: Moving Along ...................................................................... 10 The challenge gradually increases as does the harmonic variety. (13 etudes)

Part 3: Soaring Higher .................................................................... 19 Helps to build the high range by gradually introducing higher “target notes” starting with high G and extending up to C. Tenor clef makes an appearance. (17 etudes)

Part 4: Plunging Lower .................................................................. 33 Explores lower notes, especially those in the trigger range from F down to C. A few pedal notes are thrown in. (12 etudes)

Part 5: Raising the Bar ................................................................... 45 Mastery of these pieces will help you develop mastery over your instrument. Start them slowly and work them up. (14 etudes)

Part 6: Soaring Even Higher .......................................................... 60 Picks up where Part 3 left off, starting with high D-flat and sailing all the way up to high F. Take your time building up to these notes. (11 etudes)

Part 7: Plunging Even Lower ......................................................... 68 Intended for the double-valve bass trombone (but brave tenors are welcome to give it a shot). Ranges all the way down to a double pedal C-flat. Don’t pass out! (11 etudes)

Part 8: Taking a Bow ...................................................................... 76 These “finishing” etudes require virtuoso technique to polish. Nail these and you can definitely take a bow! (8 etudes)

Part 9: Playing Together ................................................................ 85 33 duets starting off fairly easy and ranging all the way to “What was this guy thinking?”

Introducing Some Useful Alternate Positions

Remember that, like the E-flat next to it, this note is on the 6th partial (or "F partial") of the overtone series. That partial is usually sharp. Listen carefully and correct as needed.

This is a free sample of a book by Brad Edwards (I sure hope you didn’t pay for it!).

Mostly likely it was copied from TromboneZone.org or HornbonePress.com

At any rate, if you like the sample and would like to purchase the book, you can link to

either website to make a purchase.

And, also, please don’t make complete illegal copies of books. I work hard on these and

somehow, it just feels wrong that someone else should just offer up a pdf copy after all

the time and effort I’ve put in.

Thanks.
