Practical trombone method with gradual progression
de Haske Easy Steps 2 Trombone is a Dutch-language trombone method developed in response to the need for a more gradual progression. Instead of large jumps, you work step by step on new notes, rhythms and musical concepts, with clear explanations and a well-organised layout. That makes this tutor book suitable for beginner trombone players who want to absorb the material at a steady pace.
The method is practical and offers much more than exercises alone. You also work with playing material, musical games, ear-training exercises, ensemble exercises and medleys of well-known songs. This makes Easy Steps 2 Trombone well suited to music lessons and group teaching, with room for personal input.
Contents of the Easy Steps 2 Trombone method
This book by Jaap Kastelein and Klaas de Jong has 64 pages and, together with the first part, forms a complete two-part method for training the beginning musician. The new edition is better adapted to younger users and group lessons, which makes the structure especially useful in teaching practice.
Accompaniments are included for all pieces, sometimes with a model performance. The accompanying audio CDs contain the accompaniments for all exercises and performance pieces, often also played once as an example. The slow tempos help you start playing along quite quickly, at home or during lessons. At Magna Music, you can also count on personal advice from people who are musicians themselves if you need help choosing suitable teaching material.
CD-ROM with extra options for group lessons
Easy Steps 2 Trombone includes a CD-ROM that significantly expands the ways you can use the method. It contains an instructional video demonstrating the first basics of playing the instrument. This video can be played on a computer.
You can also use a computer to print the piano parts of the medleys, so a separate piano book is not needed. In addition, the CD-ROM includes twelve trios, with both the full score and separate parts available for printing. All accompaniment tracks are also included as MP3 files on the CD-ROM, so you can quickly find the right track and transfer the files to an MP3 player to play along in different places.
