Here is how the late great Paul Faulise described his book:
The Basics F G-flat D In-Line Double Valve Bass Trombone - Sound • Intonation • Articulation • Valve Facility (2008), Book III
This book is an instruction method for trombonists and bass trombonists who are considering a move, or have moved, to the in-line double valve bass trombone. The method is basic and specifically targeted to the new players. It covers tuning the F G-flat valves, each valve's register, the pedal register, sound and intonation, articulation and valve facility. The valve facility exercises illustrate how awkward slide movements can be minimized or eliminated.
It is not the intent of these exercises to have the instrument played as a valve bass trombone (no slide movement). They are designed to give the player an insight as to the possible valve/slide combinations that help to create smooth slide movements.
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.
There are three method books for the Bass Trombone by Paul Faulise and they will all be available for purchase separately or as a complete collection.
