I composed most of Circadian Suite during my winter break (2018-2019). The impetus was a pair of commissions from the trombone studios of Tennessee Tech and the University of Delaware. I composed a three-movement suite for each group with the thought that they could be combined into a larger work. There are connections between the two suites.
For example, the middle movement of each suite features a sustained B-natural. (I’ve sometimes wondered what it might be like to play them attacca).
The overall mood of the Night Suite is darker and more foreboding.
The amygdala is a portion of the brain connected with powerful emotions. It can become very active during sleep.
It is probably best to place the bass trombones in the center with the high voices (1st and 5th trombone) on the outside edges. Other arrangements are possible.
Performers are welcome to mix and match movements as they see fit.
The ensemble should be set up antiphonally with the high voices (1st and 5th parts) on the outside edge with low voices (4th and 8th parts) in the center.

By far the most freeblowing mute I've ever played on
By far the most freeblowing mute I've ever played on. The 2nd movement of Tomasi doesn't suck to play anymore.

My first impression of the book Trombone21 is great
My first impression of the book is great. The music included makes the book complete.
However, the book is a huge challenge for me. I have learned the tenor clef in the past, but not having used it at all since, so that is the first challenge.
I started practicing last week, July and August is the holiday period.
Furthermore, I love challenges; I am an amateur, and I have no other instrument available besides my tenor trombone. But that shouldn't be a problem.
I am happy with this book; I am going to use it with other practice material.

The composition is great
The composition is great. However, the engraving is sloppy. More attention to detail is necessary. Dynamics are not vertically aligned, some measures are too wide while others are to small making the notation hard to read. Also, multi-measure rests should be used more often. There were none in this piece and it could have used some. I had an issue with the file and I contacted customer service. The issue was resolved quickly, so the customer service was great!

As always I simply like the text in her books
As always I simply like the text in her books. Tons of experience shared with great insight. Prescriptions on how to execute the exercises is a game changer and I would recommend both her books to all my trombone friends. These books are important for getting the basics in order, sound, air-flow, breathing, relaxation and endurance just to mention a few great tips for taking your playing to next level. Dimply great books

The Arrival of Something Truly Unique in Bucket Mutes
I have been following the design process of this entry into the bucket mute family for some time. Love the fact that is driven by active professional performers. My feeling is that is is a NEW take on the 'traditional' bucket. Rather than filling the mute chamber with dampening material, the design team developed a SONIC DIFUSER that, along with the overall design components, makes this a completely unique interpretation that remains rooted in tradition.
Superior, design and build/materials. EASE OF USE -easy on/off. And the maker worked with me to ensure a proper bell fit with my large bell - and communication throughout the order process was nimble, responsive and efficient. Not for nothing, affordably priced.
The mute sounds really great, intonation is spot on and the handle makes it super easy to insert and take out very quickly. Only point that could be improved is a clean finishing. There are many unclean edges from the 3D Print. But overall my new fav straight mute.
