free exercises for trombone

Here are some etudes to improve the high register and also a few simple multiphonics exercises (sing and play at the same time) which also cover tones that are played in the wrong positions (fake-tones). Other studies are for flexibility and legato playing. There are some exercises with arpeggios that can be played in a classical style or as jazz (swing).The exercises can be used for warm-up or be included in a daily routine. I will add several routines in the future. I wish there are some very experienced and professional players reading this page and hopefully also a lot of not so experienced players. Practicing without notes.

1) I add this position chart for the ones that need them. The Ab on first position is avoided as it is not possible to play in pitch. It is to flat. I should add that there are no fixed positions on the trombone so there have to be small adjustments done to tune every tone at any position. The correction depends on the instrument, the mouthpiece, the one playing and the harmonic context. There are some general rules about adjustments though. I will add a more complete chart later with this information. I have also added a chart covering the high register further down on the page for the player who has searched the internet all over.This chart (below) covers the common register on the tenor trombone and is what is demanded of an intermediate tromboneplayer with exception of the lowest note (G) in the fourth position in this diagram. The G is a lot more difficult than the Ab just above and therefore is not usually demanded of an intermediate player. Low notes are especially difficult on a small trombone with a small mouthpiece and certainly not for an intermediate player with this equipment. This is a link to another position-chart, but this one does not show the complete set of alternate positions. It only shows the most common position for every note within the normal register wich is also good information.

2) This chart covers the high register (and beyond) on the tenor trombone.
Note that I tune my instument in a way that I never normally play first position with slide completely pushed together (exept when playng a d2 at first pos, this would be the fifth note in the sequence below). When you read my chart you have to consider this.

3) The upper part (red) are to be sung and some low notes are ment to be played at the false positions I suggest just for practice.

4) There are occations when you have to move the slide fast between the uncomfortable sixth and seventh positions and the first position. This happens sometimes when playing third trombone in a big band. There is a way to deal with this without getting a trigger-trombone.

5) This is a flexibility warm-up that Aake Persson (ke Persson) used to play. Mr Sven Larsson, famous bass trombonist and former teacher at the Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm who did play with ke Persson in the 70's showed me this exercise. Aake even included the idea in his solos. It can be heard on a legendary recording of a swedish radio broadcast with Quincy Jones and his "Free and Easy" orchestra 1960. In a duell with Jimmy Cleavland Aake decides to include this as a part of his solo. American musicians were in the band, Aake was the only swede.

6) Here are three etudes for altered harmony. You could play them to practice sight-reading but I recommend you study the sequence and play them without notes. 7) Here is a Carl Michael Bellman solo for trombone. Theme and variations over "Stolta Stad"
