The Ernest Clarke, Updated Method for Trombone is the result of James Biddlecome’s study of the original method book with his teacher, Roger Smith, as well as in his own teaching studio for over thirty years. This updated version marks F-attachment, alternate positions and includes additional exercises composed by the editor with minor scales, mixed meter, slurring and long tones. (most of which are left alone by Clarke). The first 20 of Clarke’s exercises are replaced by the new markings, making it more of an intermediate/advanced method compared to the original. Mr. Biddlecome’s edition is very well thought out and should be a staple for any serious young performer of the Trombone.
