Hooked on Multiphonics: Multiphonics and other Extended Techniques Demystified

"This is one of those books that should be in every trombonist’s library.  Get yours soon." --Jim Pugh, Trombone Hooked on Multiphonics fills a void in pedagogy and compositional idiosyncrasies by expounding on the subtleties of multiphonics and other complex extended techniques so they may be better understood and executed by future generations of trombonists and composers. Progressive instructions, exercises, and studies will help the performer develop a broader palette of sound. Detailed explanations of various multiphonic timbre and other extended techniques will aid composers seeking to understand the many facets of the trombone’s potential. “Jen Baker’s indispensable guidebook to this strange and beautiful “alternate universe” has ignited in me, as both composer and player, a new curiosity and excitement about [the trombone] and its possibilities.” —Jeremy Howard Beck, composer
