(Meredith Music Resource). Revised and updated! Lip Slurs for Horn provides a comprehensive collection of essential slurring skills for the first year student as well as exercises that challenge the most advanced professional. A balance between variety and accessibility is used to challenge the ear and combat the monotony of typical lip slur exercises while maintaining a logical and musical shape to the phrase. Special areas included are: * Large intervals within a modest range * Exercises designed to eliminate or minimize breaks between registers * Memorizable warm-ups * Techniques that exploit out-of-tune harmonics * Innovative ways to increase range both high and low * Exercises that provide an extreme challenge to the ear * Lip slur hybrids combined with lip trill precursors

This book has over 100 etudes and 33 duets relying exclusively on the natural slurs of a trombone. They are designed for the common F-attachment tenor trombone although one section is meant exclusively for the double-valve bass trombone. They progress from easy to quite challenging.

First to be published in the series was The Art of French Horn Playing by Philip Farkas, now Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Music at Indiana University. In 1956, when Summy-Birchard published Farkas's book, he was a solo horn player for the Chicago Symphony and had held similar positions with other orchestras, including the Boston Symphony, Cleveland Orchestra, and Kansas City Conservatory, DePaul University, Northwestern University, and Roosevelt University in Chicago. The Art of French Horn Playing set the pattern, and other books in the series soon followed, offering help to students in learning to master their instruments and achieve their goals.

Daily Routines for the Student Horn Player is a systematic approach to help student hornists develop and maintain fundamental horn skills. Designed to challenge students but not overwhelm them, there are eight routines: Beginning, Air, Overtone Series, Intermediate, Ear Training, B-flat Horn, Duet/Intonation, and Advanced Routine. Each routine incorporates the following skill categories: long tones and mouthpiece buzzing, crescendo/diminuendo, lip slurs, accuracy and dynamic changes, alternating tongued and slurred between intervals, articulation and technique, high and low playing. By applying these skill categories as a template to each routine, students are sure to develop all of their skills equally.

A collection of exercises, for French Horn, composed by Max P. Pottag.
