Solo Training Duets for Trombones by David Vining is appropriate for high school through professional trombone players.

NOTE: This new edition features spiral bound score format (the old edition had two separate parts) to facilitate ensemble accuracy.

Solo Training Duets explores six of the most common trombone solos by blending the original solo part with selected parts of the piano accompaniment. Playing these duets will help you understand how the solo and accompaniment fit together. Solo Training Duets are particularly useful for students who have limited rehearsal time with their accompanist. These duets are an obvious choice for teachers who wish to expand students’ knowledge of core repertoire, but can also be used as fun diversions for trombonists seeking a new spin on old familiar favorites. The duets include:

Concertino in E-flat Major, op. 4 by Ferdinand David

Sonata No. 1 by Johann Ernst Galliard

Morceau Symphonique by Alexandre Guilmant

Andante and Allegro by Joseph Edouard Barat

Cavatine by Camille Saint-Saëns

Concerto by Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov

"David Vining's 'Solo Training Duets' are both enjoyable and challenging. These duets are a unique and creative way to learn the most popular solo works for trombone. We are always looking for good new duets to play with both colleagues and students, and these duets fit the bill on many levels. I highly recommend them." - Larry Zalkind, Professor of Trombone, Eastman School of Music
