Melodious Etudes for Trombone (Book 1: Nos. 1-60)
Selected from The Vocalises of Marco Bordogni Sheet Music Book
By Giovanni Bordogni

This version is OK, but not as good as the Encore version by Michael Mulcahy (that one also costs LESS)

I can't believe this was edited by a trombone player with only two hands. So many of the etudes need page turns which are impossible in the time avalable for slide trombone players. The whole book needs to re set out to meet the needs the book is intended...

for, a few extra pages a slightly higher price could turn thie edition with a 5 star rating

I love this book! I use it with my french horn students to work on playing in bass clef. We play a little bit out of it every week and use it as part of the warm up routine.

I had been practicing these etudes from the earlier Rochut edition. There have been some subtle changes in some of the etudes, in tempos and notes. Nothing major, but it did trip me up a little while playing through the book. Playing with the piano accompaniments CD is especially good...

as an intonation check, although it is often helpful to make printed copies of the accompaniments for reference.Overall, I have learned more from the Bordogni etudes than from other books.
