Lips Of Steel, Trombone

Alan Raph has adapted trumpet virtuoso David Baldwin's Lips of Steel method for the trombone, and now trombone players can experience tremendous satisfaction when reaching the end of a piece with strength, resilience, and breath remaining for that last note! In other words, playing with endurance. Baldwin wasn't born with this ability -he learned it, and Raph's edition allows trombone players to learn it too.
