With the importance of versatility in freelance work in the world of trombone performance, along with increased competition for that work, the need for players to play alto, tenor, and bass trombones to a high level of proficiency has become more and more crucial. This, coupled with the growing number of orchestras looking to hire musicians who are highly competent on all three instruments means that university professors need to be able to teach all three instruments. This evolution of the job market is driving a need for pedagogical material that is specifically designed to address the unique challenges of practicing and performing at a professional level on the main three instruments in the trombone family. As of the time of writing, this material simply does not exist. This project aims to fill that instructional gap. It gives students and teachers a resource that outlines an approach for a four-year undergraduate course of study that allows for the development of the playing of each of the trombones individually and collectively, utilizing the strengths of one instrument to develop the other two. It will also allow for the exploration of the technical challenges that arise when playing and changing between instruments. This four-year course of study combined with a clear explanation of numerous routines can be used from early in a student's development. It can be tailored to their specific needs and will give any teacher and student a comprehensive and holistic method for the acquisition of the skills needed to become a successful utility trombonist.

Padre José Maurício Nunes Garcia (1767-1830) was perhaps the most prolific, revered, and successful composer in 18th and 19th century colonial and postcolonial Brazil. Padre José Maurício's favor with King Dom João VI, the Portuguese Royal Court, and a catalogue of hundreds of compositions, is validation of his success, yet there is comparatively little academic research and recognition in comparison to his European contemporaries. Padre José Maurício's employment of the trombone within his ambitious capstone, his Missa de Santa Cecília showcases his recognizable and original compositional language. The influence of two contemporaries of Padre José Maurício, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) and Gioachino Rossini (1792-1868), had an integral and clear influence on the Missa de Santa Cecília without resulting in rote imitation. Mozartian text emphasis, independent part writing, technical demand, and traditional use of the trombone for sacred or supernatural imagery were synthesized by Padre José Maurício swiftly and originally. Simultaneously, Rossinian orchestration, close scoring, limited range, subverted structural arrivals, and emulated percussive effects were personalized and employed by Padre José Maurício. His insular development and instantaneous adaptation of new orchestration and theatrical models yields trombone writing that is idiomatic, in alignment with sacred and symphonic tradition, and essential to the study of the trombone in the early 18th century. Padre José Maurício's trombone writing is significant for primarily two reasons: it is at odds with current historical trombone texts, and his insular development in a hegemonic society yielded an individual compositional style.

This dissertation consists of three solo recitals and one lecture recital. The repertoire of all programs is composed of music written specifically for the trombone plus two transcriptions of works for voice. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the use of selected vocal pedagogical material as a means of developing musicianship for the trombonist. The historical relationship of the voice and the trombone is traced through written documentation and musical composition. Similarities between the development of legato technique for the vocal student and the trombonist are examined. A brief history of the vocalise and its pedagogical function is presented. The development of expressive musical performance for the trombonist is explored through the use of examples from three different vocalises of Marco Bordogni.

More than 200 compositions have been written for solo trombone and organ since the nineteenth century, including contributions from notable composers such as Franz Liszt, Gustav Holst, Gardner Read, Petr Eben, and Jan Koetsier. This repertoire represents a significant part of the solo literature for the trombone, but it is largely unknown to both trombonists and organists. The purpose of this document is to provide a historical perspective of this literature from the nineteenth century to the present, to compile a complete bibliography of compositions for trombone and organ, and to determine the current state of performance of this repertoire. This current state of performance has been determined through an internet survey, a study of recital programs printed in the ITA Journal, a study of recordings of this literature, and interviews and correspondence with well-known performers of these compositions. It is the intention of this author that this document will serve to make the repertoire for trombone and organ more accessible and more widely known to both trombonists and organists.

The modern bass trombone has undergone many changes in design since the 1960s and a student beginning on or switching to bass trombone today needs pedagogical material that methodically addresses the many valve combinations available on an independent double valve bass trombone. The existing books for bass trombone contain useful exercises, but none of the currently available books address all the valve combinations and patterns that are helpful for developing proficient valve technique on bass trombone. Therefore, I created a new bass trombone double valve technique method book that includes a thorough exploration of the bass trombone's two valves within the context of scales, scale exercises, and original material specifically designed to be applicable to common literature for the bass trombone.

The theoretical contribution is supported by Leão (2013) - music research methodology, Freire (2011), Tardif (2000 and 2002) and Gauthier (2013) - education - Shigunov Neto & Maciel (2008) and Amorim (2012) - society and culture -, as well as other works that focus on and discuss the musical and trombonistic knowledge and practices, such as Santos (1999 and 2016), Gagnard (1974), Kemp (1995) and Costa (1999). Within an interpretive perspective of research, the philosophical approach used was hermeneutics, combined with the qualitative paradigm, also using quantitative resources. In addition, the research had a descriptive and historical character, pointing to educational experiences through interviews and data in order to systematize the teaching-learning approaches of the Brazilian trombone aspect. In order to answer questions about the Brazilian Trombone School and its artistic- instrumental construction processes in relation to teaching and learning, the research was conducted in two stages: bibliographical survey and field research. This fact was justified by the fact that, up to the present moment, there is still no systematization of this process, nor cataloging of documents referring to its description, and, as such, of the pedagogical practices employed. It was believed that this systematization could contribute positively to the didactic- methodological orientation, being able to suggest resolutions for possible pedagogical problems. The methodological process of this research was based on bibliographic review and data collection. Thus, data obtained from oral sources (10 Brazilian trombonist teachers interviewed), theoretically based, served to discuss the teaching-learning process of the trombone. For the empirical analysis, for the application of the questionnaires, renowned trombonist teachers of recognized trombone study centers in Brazil were selected and interviewed, for which the same questionnaire was applied in a semi-open format, with a pre-elaborated script of Questions that specially questioned about the specificities of the musical experience, the knowledge about the study in Brazil and its pedagogical practices. This research was validated (ensuring confidentiality and reliability - in addition to legal and moral protection of the researched and the researcher) of the Informed Consent Term - TCLE (in compliance with the legal terms and the Ethics Committee - CEP). This dissertation is justified by the social relevance of the theme for music education and contemporary society at this time of changes in the public educational policies that reach the teaching of music in Brazil. Through the verification of all content, it was possible to conclude on the existence of the Brazilian Trombone School and its level of development, as well as on the methods, methodologies, strategies, and participants that act in the implementation of the same. It is estimated that the results of the final product can contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the area of music and education, and to the affirmation/strengthening of the Brazilian Trombone School. / Esta dissertação trata dos processos educacionais em música referentes ao trombone no Brasil, através da identificação, seleção e análise das práticas pedagógicas, bem como a evidenciação e o processo de formação da Escola Brasileira de Trombone. O aporte teórico está sustentado em Leão (2013) – metodologia de pesquisa em música–, Freire (2011), Tardif (2000 e 2002) e Gauthier (2013) – educação –, Shigunov Neto & Maciel (2008) e Amorim (2012) – sociedade e cultura –, além de outros trabalhos que focam e discutem os saberes e práticas docentes musicais e trombonísticas, como Santos (1999 e 2016), Gagnard (1974), Kemp (1995) e Costa (1999). Dentro de uma perspectiva interpretativa de pesquisa, a abordagem filosófica utilizada foi a hermenêutica, combinado com o paradigma qualitativo, usando também recursos do quantitativo. Além disso, a investigação apontou experiências educativas através de entrevistas e dados no intuito de sistematizar as abordagens de ensino-aprendizagem da vertente brasileira de trombone. Procurando responder questões acerca da Escola Brasileira de Trombone e seus processos de construção artístico-instrumental com relação ao ensino-aprendizagem, conduziu-se a investigação em duas etapas: levantamento bibliográfico e pesquisa de campo. Tal fato se justificou por, até o presente momento, ainda não existir uma sistematização desse processo, nem catalogação de documentos referentes à sua descrição, e, tampouco das práticas pedagógicas empregadas. Acreditou-se que essa sistematização pudesse contribuir positivamente com a orientação didático-metodológica, podendo sugerir resoluções para eventuais problemáticas pedagógicas. O processo metodológico desta pesquisa se deu a partir revisão bibliográfica e coleta de dados. Assim, os dados obtidos através das entrevistas (10 professores trombonistas brasileiros entrevistados), fundamentados teoricamente, serviram para discutir o processo de ensino-aprendizagem do trombone. Para a análise, relativo à aplicação dos questionários, foram selecionados e entrevistados professores- trombonistas, de renome, de reconhecidos centros de estudo de trombone no Brasil, para os quais se aplicou um mesmo questionário em formato semiaberto, com roteiro pré-elaborado de perguntas que questionaram especialmente as especificidades da vivência musical, o conhecimento sobre o estudo no Brasil e suas práticas pedagógicas. Esta pesquisa valeu-se (assegurando confidencialidade e confiabilidade – além de proteção legal e moral do pesquisado e do pesquisador) do Termo de Consentimento Livre Esclarecido – TCLE (em conformidade com os termos legais e o Comitê de Ética – CEP). Esta dissertação empenha relevância social para o tema, para a educação musical e para a sociedade contemporânea nesse momento de mudanças nas políticas públicas educacionais que atingem o ensino da música no Brasil. Concluiu-se que a Escola Brasileira de Trombone existe e está operante e desenvolvendo práticas pedagógicas relevantes. Assim, apurou-se, também, sobre o seu nível de desenvolvimento, bem como constatou-se sobre os métodos, metodologias, estratégias, e participantes que atuam (atuaram) na implementação da mesma. Estima-se que os resultados do produto final possam contribuir para o avanço do conhecimento na área de música e educação [musical], e para o afirmação/fortalecimento da Escola Brasileira de Trombone.
