Rangebuilding For Trombone will assist Trombonists in developing their playing skills in the high range. The books’s various chapters address techniques far beyond merely “hitting the notes at all.” This book can help players develop the endurance to play in their high register for some time (lead), the intonation to play pleasantly, the finesse to play in the high register in a variety of styles, the accuracy and reliability to play lead with confidence, and the agility to play intricate passages.
