TECHNIQUE AND WARMING UP BOOK out now!

I'm happy to present my first technique book for trombone and (lower) brass instruments. It's based on my 18 years of experience as teacher at several conservatories, and as clinician. It's full of alternative and challenging exercises - not the regular stuff you are used to play as warming-up or technique check-up. I hope you will like it.
