Six Etudes for Bass Trombone

Robert Marsteller had an illustrious career as a performing artist and a pedagogue, influencing hundreds of musicians in a major way. His Six Etudes for Bass Trombone (adapted from the tenor trombone version by Gordon Cherry) most likely were written while studying at the Eastman School of Music in the late 1930's, as they are dedicated to his teacher Emory Remington.


The etudes are challenging technically, in many keys, written in a wide range and are very satisfying musically to perform. If practiced correctly, these études will surely be of great value to aspiring performers.
