Methodological Support of Professional Training of Trombonists

modern methodological approaches to the training of trombonist students are considered in the article in the context of the development of the art of playing the trombone, the evolution of the musical language and the reflection of musical innovations in scientific and pedagogical literature. The specifics of the design of the instrument and the game on it predefine the choice of “classic” methodological manuals. However, the long historical path of trombone did not go without expanding the timbre-expressive capabilities and changing the techniques of playing the trombone. Therefore, the XXIst century methodical manuals for playing the trombone include an extensive section devoted to the styles of playing modern music from academic avant-garde to pop-jazz genres. The work provides an analysis of modern trombone literature with performing comments, and also draws attention to methodological developments that take into account the breadth of strokes and techniques used in music to play trombone.
