Solo Training for Trombone by Dan Barrett is suitable for high school through professional trombone players.

Solo Training for Trombone is designed to help you meet challenges found in eight popular solo works. When practiced regularly, these studies will provide the foundation for successful performance of the works on which they are based, and other repertoire as well!

Solo Training features etudes based on popular solos for trombone, including:

Cavatine by Camille Saint-Saëns

Andante et Allegro by Joseph Edouard Barat

Sonata #1 in A Minor by Johann Ernst Galliard

Sonata in F Major by Benedetto Marcello

Morceau Symphonique by Alexandre Guilmant

Concerto for Trombone by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov

Concertino for Trombone and Orchestra by Ferdinand David

Grand Concerto by Friedebald Gräfe

The routines in Solo Training provide a means for preparing these standard solos while also cultivating technique and musicianship. The principals of overtraining, transposing, and bridge-building are used throughout. Solo Training presents examples to get your mind thinking of creative ways to teach yourself so you can generate exercises that will remedy the difficulties you encounter elsewhere.

"Whether you're a young student discovering this music for the first time, or a seasoned pro preparing for your next solo appearance, these exercises will provide tremendous help in overcoming challenges as well as developing or maintaining solid fundamentals. Dan Barrett has composed fun and effective etudes that all will find helpful. I am happy to endorse these etudes and look forward to trying them in my own performing and teaching. Bravo!" - James Nova, Trombone, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra; Adjunct Professor of Trombone, Duquesne University
