Digital scale/arpeggio/exercise books?

[ghmerrill]

I'm still progressing in moving a lot of my stuff over to a tablet (with MobileSheets) for practicing. Two of my old standbys are the Pares books "Daily exercises and scales for trombone" and "Pares Scales for Eb Bass". There don't seem to be digital editions of these available (?). I could digitize them (or parts of them) myself, but that's kind of a pain.

Any suggestions for something similar -- covering the bass trombone range?

One thing I've gotten recently (which I really like) is Ryan Haines' "Flow Studies with a Jazz Flavor" (for bass trombone). But now I'm really just looking for something comparable to the old Pares stuff.

Check this out. The QR code at the bottom should lead you to a site with the tuba version.

Not sure what's there, but it seems to require me to open an account. Think I'll pass on that. But thanks.

Digital scale

I thought this topic was going to be about weighing a shelf of method books, and how much lighter a tablet is.

[ghmerrill]

Sorry for that confusion. But I do have a couple of decent digital scales for that comparison as well.

So far, per my request, I've found Ernest Williams' "Method of Scales for Trombone (https://qpress.ca/product/method-scales ... lliams-pdf) in digital form. It may do the trick for me and is only $6.99 . Apparently digital bits are a lot less expensive than ink dots.

Well, for $6.99 you don't really get something that compares to Pares. But it's a start for simple stuff. Maybe I will just selectively digitize the Pares stuff I have.

It turns out that Pares scales for trombone are available in digital form ($6.99) from QPRESS: https://qpress.ca/product/pares-scales- ... f-download. This is difficult to see since the mention of the PDF is buried in the final sentence of the book description on QPRESS.

However, the tuba books aren't available there (in any format).

The Jerry Coker "Patterns for Jazz" book has got everything.

Thanks. It took a while to find the freely downloadable PDF version -- but I got it. I'm assuming it's somehow legal (?). The copyright on it says 1970.
