Beyond Bordogni is just as described: everything that the original vocalises don’t offer, Brad Edwards does!

This book is meticulously planned out in its increasing difficulty in range, harmonic language, clefs, and more.
The supplementary duet parts are notable additions that make student lessons more engaging.
The amount of material “The Melodious Trombone” covers makes it so much more than just an etude book!

I’m always excited when I hear Brad Edwards has written a new book as I know it’ll be educational while being fun and engaging. The Melodious Trombone is no exception! I’ve really been enjoying exploring these and am super excited to work on them with my students, especially the duets that go along with them!”

Brad Edwards has done it again! He has created another device that students and teachers can use to engage with one another in a way that is both technically sound and musically motivated. Nothing is more valuable for both parties involved than the chance to make music with one another Brad’s thoughtful approach and beautiful musical lines should make for hours of valuable time spent in trombone studios around the country. Thank you again Maestro, and keep up the great work. It is much appreciated.
