Trombone Circuit Training

Peter Gane is Professor of Trombone at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, and Trombone Coach to the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain and European Union Youth Orchestra.

The course will help encourage student and teacher alike to develop the physical and mental approaches that will serve them well in a solo or ensemble situation. Professors Gane and Houlding reveal the core games, exercises, patterns and ideas that have informed their teaching over the past 30 years, as well as their own playing. Key concepts such as ‘Virtual Reality’ and ‘Mental Practice’ are explained and demonstrated, giving trombonists an indispensible arsernal of practice and performance advice.

This course provides the roadmap to a secure, fundamental trombone technique!
