Beginner trombone method with gradual progression
Easy Steps 1 Trombone by de Haske was developed in response to the need for a trombone method with small, manageable steps. That makes this tutor well suited to beginners who want to absorb new notes, rhythms and basic concepts step by step, both in lessons and at home.
The method has a practical setup and leaves room for personal input. In the book, you learn how new notes and rhythms should be played, with clear explanations, exercises, games and medleys of well-known songs. The clear structure and easy-to-follow layout make it especially accessible for younger learners.
Easy Steps 1 Trombone for lessons and group teaching
This edition by Jaap Kastelein, together with part 2, forms a complete method for training the beginning musician. Alongside practice and performance material, the book includes ensemble exercises, ear-training exercises and musical games, making it widely usable in music lessons.
There is also plenty of practical material for group teaching. The online audio includes trios for which both the score and individual parts can be printed, making ensemble playing easier to organise. If you want advice on sheet music or teaching material, Magna Music offers personal help from people who are musicians themselves.
Online audio with accompaniments, demos and piano parts
Easy Steps 1 Trombone comes with online audio featuring accompaniments for all exercises and performance pieces. Many tracks are also demonstrated, and the slow tempi make it easier to start playing along quickly. The audio-online code helps you find the right track for each piece without hassle.
The online material also includes an instructional video showing the first basics of playing the trombone. You can print piano parts for the medleys as well, so a separate piano book is not needed. The mp3 files can be transferred to an mp3 player, letting you practise with accompaniment at home or on the go.
