Things to consider
Start new students with Level I Student Book paired with Level I Tunes for Trombone Technic to build basics and fingerboard familiarity together. As students advance, the Studies and Melodious Etudes series reinforces technique while the higher-level student books introduce more sophisticated repertoire. If you're directing a band program, having all three level progressions on hand lets you move students at their own pace without starting over mid-series.
