Get Ready!: A Focused Daily Trombone Routine

by Nick Finzer

This book is intended as an inspiration for you to develop a daily routine as a jazz trombonist. As a brass player, the fundamentals of brass playing are paramount to your success as a musician, especially as an improviser! The reason to focus on these basic fundamentals is to allow you to have complete freedom when you are called on to improvise. For me, a routine must hit all of the major components of playing the are multiple exercises here that should be adapted as needed to fit your level and range. That is, if you can’t play as high or as low as the exercise indicates, feel free to leave those out until you are able to, later on. The play-alongs included with your purchase (as downloads, or streaming on YouTube, Spotify, et al - just search “Nick Finzer Get Ready”) are intended as a guide for a comfortable and relaxed tempo for each exercise. You should adapt the tempo for your ability until you’re able to play it at the indicated tempo.For every person that plays an instrument, I think it is very important to seek out information from as many sources as possible and adapt things from all of those sources to fit with your musical ideals and goals! I hope you’ll find some helpful things here in this book. Best Wishes and Happy Practicing! - Nick Finzer
