Trombone Mastery: Refining Slide Technique
Crafted by Ehren Valmé, this guide offers invaluable exercises designed for trombonists aiming to perfect their slide control. At the heart of masterful trombone playing is the nuanced handling of slide transitions, extensions, and intricate shifts.

Valmé outlines four foundational principles: keeping a steady connection with the slide's cross-brace, promoting smooth wrist and arm actions, executing deliberate slide placements, and diligently fine-tuning positions after the 4th using tools like tuners and drones. Aspiring to match the agility found in string and keyboard artists, these studies reflect the complexities present in age-old and contemporary pieces.
