Euph_Dolphin Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 what are some good euphonium etude books, now i have arbans trombone method, and book 1 of rouchets melodious etudes from trombone, but now im looking at some books that concetrate on lower studies, say etudes with notes no higher than a F above the staff, books that focus on the middle to low range of the horn, i've been looking at a few steven mead books online, but i have no idea what the etudes look like, so if anyone can tell me of books that focus on the middle to low range, or of some sheet music i could buy, or even a web site, i would much appreciate it. btw i use a bach 3G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow_7 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 books that focus on the middle to low range Most books are gonna focus on more of the high range. As they're geared to be challenging to a middle to advanced player. And focused more on the soloistic aspects of playing. You can always transpose. Via clef or whatever method works for you. You don't have to limit yourself to just Euphonium etudes. You can draw from other instruments in that range. Chello, Bassoon, Trombone, Baritone/Euphonium. Bummer, looks like Byron Hoyt isn't around anymore. Ah yes, the Blahzevich studies in Clefs. Arbans and of course Rochut(Bordogni) Melodious etudes. Schlossberg, now there's one I haven't seen in a while. I could have sworn there was a Philip Glass etude book too. trombone: http://www.hickeys.com/pages/tnstudy.htm Euphonium: http://www.hickeys.com/pages/eustudy.htm Bassoon: http://www.hickeys.com/pages/bnstudy.htm Chello: http://www.hickeys.com/pages/vcst.htm Lots of good stuff there. Looks to be fairly complete lists. Just google your favority artists and college class suggestions and you should get a better idea of what's in the arena you're looking for. You could probably check out some bass trombone stuff too, but without a 4th valve on these drumcorps bugles, playing some of it will require some transposition. hope this helps, Shadow_7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Adam Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 The clarke Studies have a lot of good stuff for finger technique in lower registers and it really helped improve my low end sound and technique. Lots of long tones would be great down in the register.... lots of buzzing basically the same things you would do for any other register. Dr. Maryann Craig at Montclair State University in NJ always tells her students in order to learn how to play high you have to learn how to play low. So in a nutshell just spend a lot of time down there everyday even if it is just whole notes or tonguing the same note 20 times in a row will have a similar effect as an etude it's just more basic.

raven_angel_246 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 for an overall playing book, the Voxman etude book is always a good thing to have. It has etudes in virutally all of the keys (major and minor) and has tricky rhythms. So if you focus on them they will provide you with difficult passages, times to really sing out high and low notes, and challenge you as far as different keys go.
