About the Author
This illustrious artist was born in Lyons, France, February 28,1825, and after his initial studies on the Trumpet under Dauverne, developed into the most brilliant Cornet virtuoso and pedagog of his time. His astonishing performances and triumphant concert tours throughout Europe were the means of establishing the Valve Cornet as one of the most popular of all musical instruments, and raising it to a superior degree of significance never before attained.
Arban's artistic ideals, his sound musicianship, and invaluable instructive principles were perpetuated in his splendid "Method for the Cornet", which has maintained the very highest position among similar instructive works.
Its practical superiority, as well as artistic plan, has never been surpassed and as proven by the present new transposed edition, its fundamental pedagogic principles are as adaptable and serviceable for other brass instruments as the one for which it was originally conceived.

The Foundation,

This review is from: Arban's Famous Method for Trombone (Paperback)
Arban's book is the foundation for any student of the trombone. Although some of the book is dated, it should be practiced and devoured on a daily basis. It is a basic building block of trombone mastery.

An alternative for the serious student...,
By Turangalila "music geek" (Long Island, NY, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Arban's Famous Method for Trombone (Paperback)
...is to do what my teacher had me do years ago, and get the _trumpet book. Unless it's changed in recent years this is just the trumpet book transposed down an octave, with some stuff missing. To get the whole book you can buy the trumpet book and just transpose (you add two flats to the key signature and read it as if it was in tenor clef) -- that in itself is great musical training.
Even if you go the "wimpy" route (:-), though, it's one of the basic books, though it's _essential_ to counterbalance it with Rochut or something similar. Also, Kopprasch offers a much less bulky alternative.

It is an excellent book from start to finish. I would recommend it to any trombone player from beginner to professional. All the approaches were very understandable and well explained. It will help take your talent to new heights that you never expected. It is an extraordinary book to help you with every aspect of your playing.
