Our friend Erik Veldkamp has been hard at work creating this set of study books for tuba. Erik has been taking study books from the literature of other instruments, such as violin, oboe, and flute, and expertly transcribing them for brass instruments. He adapts each etude to suit the target instrument by transposing it into the standard range, and by making other modifications to the music so that each study is perfect. This collection includes music in a variety of styles and difficulties, but these etudes are largely more suitable to intermediate and advanced players. The links below let you preview each of the books in this bundle, and play through the studies that are provided in the sample pages. This limited-time 52% off offer won’t be around for long! Click through the samples to the left, read through the write-ups provided below, and then click above for immediate PDF downloads of the entire bundle. Books included in this bundle:

We have broken up and greatly expanded our Complete Veldkamp Trombone Collection to make them more easily accessible, more affordable, and segmented into very specific categories. In this case, focused on jazz trombone playing for 57% off for a limited time. This collection is perfect for anyone looking to add a little style to their etude selection. We think that there are too few jazz etudes around, which is why we were so excited when Erik shared these books with us. The studies cover a wide range of difficulties, and Erik did his best to touch on ALL styles that a modern jazz musician could be expected to play. That means, in addition to the blues, be-bop, and swing you will find studies written in the styles of disco, tango, and hip hop.

The intricacies of jazz articulation can’t be overstated. Articulation is the key to iconic style, whether you want to doodle-tongue like Clarke Terry or be able to project big fat blocks of sound to the back of the hall like Wayne Bergeron.

They are our best-selling jazz books ever, and now they are available as a set for the very first time. The Staccato Standards give you a great foundation in articulation fundamentals and control, and then the Articulation Big Books are veritable lexicons of history and style. The Articulation Big Books also include mp3 files to pair with the transcriptions, allowing you to easily emulate all-time greats like Miles Davis, Lee Morgan, and Dizzy Gillespie.

The Swing Starter Kit is extremely exciting and came about from lots of customer feedback and requests. To learn to play in the jazz style, for both beginner players and established professionals, it is best to do so by imitating a great model. To make this possible at home, Erik Veldkamp wrote 91 play-alongs for trombone, the first of which are in a call-and-response (or question-and-answer) format. Along with a rhythm section, you hear Erik play the phrases first with correct jazz articulation and style, then you imitate it immediately after. For some reason, books like this has never been written, until now, and I am thrilled for you to see them. These books are divided into 3 parts: 1. 30 basic swing exercises with a drum track to accompany you; 2. 31 swing exercises with a rhythm section accompanying you; 3. 30 swing studies with a rhythm track (+ complete demo recordings) In the samples, I am placing the first of each section so you can see how simply these begin. The audio for the respective pages is below, so you can play along for free. I guarantee that if you are an aspiring jazz player or a teacher of some, this book is going to become the backbone of your jazz-style practice. This bundle of both books for 40% off is limited time, so act now to grab the deal. Books Included

Erik Veldkamp's Drone Study Series was one of the most popular releases ever. Why? Every aspiring trumpet player, every professional, and every trumpet instructor in the world advocates for the use of a drone during practice to establish a solid pitch center and focus your mind and body during practice. In this series, Erik wrote a book that covers all areas of your fundamentals, culminating in an incredible book of performance study play-alongs called Sound Scapes. Today, we are bundling the entire series together for the first time ever so you can grab all of the books for half price. This won't last long, you've been warned! Why should you practice using a drone? Trumpet teachers and professionals advocate for using a drone across fundamental trumpet practice due to its multifaceted benefits. The drone serves as a reliable pitch reference, aiding in intonation and pitch accuracy development. It fosters a strong sense of relative pitch, crucial for tuning. In articulation, the drone provides a rhythmic foundation, refining attacks and releases. Throughout fundamental exercises, the drone promotes consistent tempo and rhythm. Its sustained sound encourages a nuanced exploration of tone, scales, and dynamics, enhancing overall musicality. Integrating a drone into practice ensures a comprehensive and disciplined approach, contributing to a trumpet player's technical proficiency and expressive capabilities.

Erik Veldkamp has just completed an incredible series of books (the very first of its kind), written entirely and specifically for the flugelhorn. These books include a series of etude books, a set of exercise books, duets, trios, and quartets. Volume One contains 30 studies that range from lyrical to technical, and all sit right in the meaty register of the flugelhorn. Volume Two contains 24 studies that start to get much more varied in terms of time signatures, rhythms, and flexibility. Volume Three contains 24 final studies that start to grow in duration, with more DC, repeats, and reprises. Sometimes it seems like the flugelhorn is an under-appreciated aspect of being a trumpet player. That’s why we were so excited when Erik decided to give the Flugelhorn the attention it deserves.  Check out some recordings of Erik performing excerpts from these books, click through the sample pages, and then click above for an immediate PDF download of the entire bundle at 35% OFF Retail price.
