I am a 77 year old decent amateur player with a Yamaha 621s baritone. I play bass clef n 4 community bands but practice only about 15-20 minutes a day. I have many books but decided recently to look at Arban's, so I got Alessi and Bowman's book through the library. Since I'm not willing to spend $55 for their book, I've hunted around and found several options--Randall's book; Arban's Famous Method for Trombone; and Arban's Method for trombone and baritone (Gordon and Goldman, 1936). I'd appreciate any suggestions as to what is the closest to Alessi and Bowman but in the $20-30 range. Are there others I should consider? Thanks.
