From the Charles Colin Complete Modern Method for Trombone

"Melodious Fundamentals” is a basic book for beginners which deals with the many problems that students are faced with when first introduced to music.

This approach was designed specifically to develop by a new technique, a sure-footed ground work in (1) tone, (2) intonation, (3) association of intervals, (4) a sense of rhythm values, (5) gradual extension of range, and (6) breath development.

For the development of all these essentials, a specially arranged and specially transcribed grouping of melodies has been selected from the best-known masterpieces of music and has been methodically interwoven with every practical variation in rhythm.
