5Great book for bassist too..  Dec 08, 2008
This book is very good for bassists that want to get their sight reading skills going. A Very good book!

5A Must have for the t-bone player  Feb 13, 2008
Look, if you play the trombone and not have Arbans, shame on you. Get it NOW. It will improve your playing "toot sweet". You gotta practice though. I know sometimes practicing can be a drag but trust me, this book you'll need. I still have mine from 30 years ago from high school. I'm still using it.

4An alternative for the serious student...  Dec 19, 2007
...is to do what my teacher had me do years ago, and get the _trumpet book. Unless it's changed in recent years this is just the trumpet book transposed down an octave, with some stuff missing. To get the whole book you can buy the trumpet book and just transpose (you add two flats to the key signature and read it as if it was in tenor clef) -- that in itself is great musical training.

Even if you go the "wimpy" route (:-), though, it's one of the basic books, though it's _essential_ to counterbalance it with Rochut or something similar. Also, Kopprasch offers a much less bulky alternative.

5Arban's review  Aug 24, 2007
It is an excellent book from start to finish. I would recommend it to any trombone player from beginner to professional. All the approaches were very understandable and well explained. It will help take your talent to new heights that you never expected. It is an extraordinary book to help you with every aspect of your playing.

5Arban's Method is a Requisite  Feb 14, 2007
Jean Baptiste Arban has created an astounding trombone and baritone (bass clef) reference for students of any music level. Whether it is used to supplement private lessons, teach remedial music to a latecoming student, or advance an aspiring young musician, it is direct and thorough. Arban covers everything from the correct way to hold the instrument in the first few pages, to the final section of the book containing etudes on the professional level. The books is divided such that the student skips around to reach various aspects of practicing; there is no ploughing through a gigantic volume page by page.
