What's inside

  • The seven valve combinations shared by every valved brass instrument, with semitones lowered by each
  • Written-out fingerings for trumpet/cornet/flugel, and the trombone's seven slide positions in bass clef
  • The horn as the exception — two instruments sharing one wrap of tubing and one set of valves
  • Why players write fingerings into their part, and the right hand's role inside the bell
  • A reading-a-brass-part table of clef and transposition by instrument, and four things every brass player should know
