Now with a brand new cover to bring it in line with the other books in the Abracadabra series: Abracadabra Brass bass clef edition. This popular tutor book, a reliable favourite with teachers since its publication in 1995, contains the tunes that children will know and want to play. Carefully graded to take the student from the earliest stages to competence, it contains clear fingering diagrams and exercises to reinforce new notes and tricky corners. A valuable resource for players of bass instruments that don't usually 'get the tune'.

The trombone, baritone and euphonium are all on the list of 'endangered species' instruments identified earlier this year by Youth Music, which has launched a [pound]1m initiative that will put these musical instruments into the hands of over 5,000 children.
