Beyond the Notes and Rhythms: A Practical Approach to Musical Expression for Trombone

Beyond the Notes and Rhythms: A Practical Approach to Musical Expression is a unique way to cultivate musicianship using theater pedagogy techniques. The first three chapters outline these techniques, discussing how to apply them musically, and chapter four is comprised of thirty-one etudes. The etudes are designed to promote musical experimentation in a variety of styles. Each etude was chosen or composed because of its potential to be versatile and most times it offers contrasting sections and repeated material.
