Intonation Studies for Three Trombones

Coy, Benjamin

Orchestral Trombone Section

Intonation Studies for Three Trombones features a comprehensive set of chordal intonation exercises for an orchestral trombone section. This book distinguishes itself from similar resources by helping trombonists learn to work in the environment they most often encounter: performing with each other. Rather than providing a CD for private practice or describing abstract principles, it addresses the issues that orchestral musicians deal with on a daily basis. From the common chord voicings at the beginning to the annotated orchestral excerpts at the end, every exercise is directly applicable to practical performance in an ensemble setting. Intonation Studies for Three Trombones was published by Kagarice Brass Editions, which has since been acquired by Ensemble Publications.
