Here is how the late Paul Faulise described his book:
Daily Warm-up and Valve Exercises for the In-Line Double Valve Bass Trombone F G-flat D
My first book is a warm-up and maintenance exercise book based on my own daily warm-up routine. I've incorporated the use of the double valves into the warm-up exercises. I specifically designed it for the F and D double-valve bass trombone, which is the most popular double-valve tuning.
The exercises are divided into six sections covering long tones, lip flexibility, lip slurs, valve flexibility, staccato tonguing, and legato tonguing. In the final section, I include a "quick warm-up" exercise. Each section is designed for a specific aspect of playing and allows the player to focus on a particular weakness. There are optional exercises that include the extreme range of the instrument from double-pedal Bb to high Bb. This secures the "normal" playing register.
All bass trombonists should have this fantastic resource in their library. It is part of the Vintage Brass Library from Cherry Classics and has been brought back to life thanks to the Faulise family, colleagues Sharman King and John Rojak.
