Introduction
Welcome to “A Trombone Experience.” This method book and DVD are designed for use in school music programs, group lessons, and private lessons as a guide to good
playing habits and proper playing techniques. This is not intended to replace the need for a fine band director or private lesson teacher. In fact, it is designed to reinforce the skills taught in these settings and may be found useful by teachers when planning beginning lessons or when trying to correct a “bad habit.” While musical exercises from mainstream method books are included, it is very important that quality method books and repertoire are purchased and become the focal point of the students’ musical development in addition to this book. Use this Instructional Method Book and DVD to reinforce good habits with beginners and to correct bad habits with more veteran players. One ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure.
