Allen Ostrander: Method for Bass Trombone (and F attachment for Tenor Trombone)

Allen Ostrander: Method for Bass Trombone (and F attachment for Tenor Trombone)

First published in 1948, this study book was created with a bass trombone student at Julliard in mind, making it one of the earliest study guides designed specifically for the bass trombone. While it focuses exclusively on the F valve and related E/flat-F tunings, it remains an excellent resource, especially for intermediate players or tenor trombonists looking to expand their range into the lower registers.

The book features a range of exercises focused on valve use, as well as progressive etudes and orchestral excerpts to help players develop their skills.
