Daily Routines for the Student Trombone Player by David Vining is appropriate for junior high through college trombone players.

Daily Routines for the Student Trombone Player is intended for younger players, but also works perfectly for those more advanced players wanting to hone a particular skill or play a gentle yet all-inclusive daily routine. The routines in this book provide a comprehensive way to ensure that you practice all your fundamental trombone skills every day. Practicing fundamentals is the most important practice session of your day because when your fundamental skills improve, everything you play gets better. Daily Routines contains eight routines: Breath Support, Intonation, Slide Technique, Ear Training, F Attachment, Tenor Clef, Alternate Positions, and Duet Routine. Each routine is further divided into seven skill categories: long tones and buzzing, crescendo/diminuendo, flexibility, subito dynamics and articulation style, resonant low playing, articulation (first on one note and then moving around), and range (first high and then low). By combining the seven skill categories with each routine, Daily Routines assures that all of your fundamental skills will improve equally over time.

“I am always grateful when a great performer goes to the trouble to organize his/her thoughts and make them available. David Vining has done just that in his book, 'Daily Routines.' These routines are masterfully conceived. They exhibit exceptional balance, ingenuity, and insight. Mr. Vining saves us many steps by organizing tried and true material, adding his own astute innovations and explaining the procedures that produce technical mastery.” - Mike Hall, International Trombone Association Journal
