Trombone intonation literature addresses intonation challenges arising from multiple, simultaneous sounds. This "fixed" intonation has a corresponding body of materials devoted to helping trombonists improve aural and technical skills. However, the literature and pedagogy on sequential sound intonation is less well developed. This project contextualizes this linear intonation and offers an original set of exercises that not only demonstrate the principles but offer trombonists the opportunity to gain practical skills to improve their linear intonation. By drawing on seminal literature in the trombone repertoire, the 43 exercises provide a bridge between theory and practice. === A Treatise Submitted to the College of Music in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Music. === Spring Semester, 2005. === March 31, 2005. === intonation, trombone, linear intonation, brass, trombone pedagogy === Includes bibliographical references. === John Drew, Professor Directing Treatise; Jeffery Kite-Powell, Outside Committee Member; Paul Ebbers, Committee Member; Bryan Goff, Committee Member.
