Author: Matthew Neff

"Solo Studies for Bass Trombone was written for use in instruction and performance. The intent is to give the bass trombonist a variety of unaccompanied solos for use in lessons, masterclasses, studio classes and recitals. It is important to realize that versatility requires listening to many styles." - Matthew Neff

Includes 12 character pieces appropriate for both study and solo performance. The individual pieces feature a number of styles including an easy-going Cantabile, a Tango, a Jazz Waltz, a Slow Jam slash Techno (depends on tempo!) and more. Altogether it's a nice collection for the moderately skilled to advanced player looking to enhance their versatility.
