"Teaching students how to approach alto trombone is always a bit tricky, so imagine my excitement when Micah reached out to me with his new book! It’s a wonderful resource and lots of fun to play through. This will be a welcome addition to my pedagogical library as it is something students will actually enjoy playing while they get better at the same time!" - James Nova, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra; Adjunct Professor of Trombone, Duquesne University

“Dr. Micah Everett has created a much-needed resource for trombone teachers and students alike. 'Dueling Fundamentals' gives alto trombone students a well-crafted tool to work on solidifying their playing while also having the anchor and pitch reference of their teacher playing tenor trombone along with them. My favorite exercise is ‘Kyri-yay!’—challenging, but extremely relevant to orchestral playing.” - Michael Wilkinson, Associate Professor of Trombone, University of South Carolina
