Peter Moore says: "In my many years of teaching, I have found that most students won't  practice long note exercises because they are so dreadfully boring.  I could not find enough interesting slow music for students to play - so we wrote Tone-Ups and Adrian's book is the latest in the series"

This book has fifteen carefully selected titles, complete with performance notes for each piece, for you to enjoy playing.  You will also develop your embouchure technique at the same time".

Adrian "Benny" Morris. PPRNCM.

In 1999 Adrian was appointed as Principal Bass Trombone with The Hallé Orchestra in Manchester, England, a position he still holds. He is also Professor of Bass Trombone at The Royal Northern College of Music and Salford University. During his time Adrian has played with many of the country's leading orchestras, and has performed in most of Europe's finest Concert Halls. His many successful students all describe him as an inpirational teacher - we agree wholeheartedly!

Christian Jones, Principal Bass Trombone in the Philharmonia says in "The Trombonist", Summer 2008:

".........I have often wondered how such an accomplished musician approaches trombone playing and Dr Downing's Bass Trombone Tone-Ups provides a valuable insight for us all.

The idea of this book is to provide trombonists with famous, slow melodies to practise and perform, instead of simply playing long notes, to acquire a better sound..........................these apparently easy melodies are a real challenge for any player to perform well.
