Alto Trombone Savvy

What you will gain from this book
From the basics of the positions to developing the skill for improvisation, this comprehensive book will take elevate your alto trombone playing no matter what your current level.
The basics
Pages of cool exercises for learning and hearing the primary and alternate positions while training your arm to intuitively find them.
How to play the alto in tune
Beginning alto players sound weak because they do not yet hear the core of each note. This section gets you hearing that in-tune core using trombone choir minus-one tracks and other fun play-alongs.
A feel for the different response
In order to get to that next note on time, learn how the shorter tube of the alto alters your response, and then play over cool original music tracks that help you hear and sharpen your response and sense of time.
Learn to improvise on the alto
I couldn't leave this out. This section is a primer in improvisation and expands upon the book's earlier ear training to get you playing melodies by ear over included cool rhythm tracks.
