The commentary by Simone Mantia and Charles Randall, while often amusing and actually not always that far off the mark, is obviously quite out of date. Presently there are over 1,150 fine arrangements and original compositions for Brass Solo and Brass Ensembles in the catalog from arrangers and composers who are “The Best in the Business”. The second part focuses on tied note exercises, where the note is changed by means of pistons or by means of flexibility. The Arban Method is a complete pedagogical method for students of the Trumpet, Cornet, and other brass instruments. IOW's, work on the stuff I can't do as well as I would like, rather than just playing the stuff I find easier.The Art of Phrasing (short tunes for musical study), and additional theme and variation pieces at the back of the book.

As well, Gordon has taught hundreds of Brass students for over 30 years at the University of British Columbia and many international leading music festivals. I graduated from high school this year, and I haven't been practicing as much as I did when I was in school, because I don't have a whole lot to practice other than things out of the Arban book. That's Bob McChesney and he confirms my assertion that it takes a world-class trombone player to rival a run-of-the-mill talented trumpet player on speed. I also like the Trumpet book for changing clefs, but since you already have a Trombone version of the book, start with that. You can obviously add more clefs/keys, but this covered the clefs that a Tenor trombonist uses generally, and all of the keys once you applied this to the majority of the book.When I was a student, we had to play most of the exercises in Tenor clef (B flat treble) in 2 keys, and Alto clef also in two keys. In these situations the keys, the rhythms, and the range of the exercises have been altered to provide introductory material which will enable the young student to prepare for a smoother, and much easier transition into the Famous Method. If it is the first time that you face it, we recommend that you try it from the Player of Clave de Mi, lowering the tempo a lot, since there are extremely fast variations in its execution. Beyond those specifics, I try to cover a few exercises from different sections when I practice from the book. In the circumstances outlined above, we will do our best to contact you and inform you of any anticipated delays.

The music in the Cherry Classics catalog ranges in difficulty from intermediate to very advanced (professional). You can also solve the range problem by using clefs as a transposition method (works better w/the Trumpet book).

In 1936, two of the finest trombonists of the day, Charles Randall and Simone Mantia, revised the method for trombone, creating the basis for trombone studies over the ensuing 75 years. Isaiah - I have that Arban's book as well, however, the best one to have (particularly if you are seriously going to use it) is the one edited by Joe Alessi and Brian Bowman.
