BTS RESOURCES

With society in general reopening, allowing full rehearsals and concerts to return, and events such as the Midlands Trombone Day to take place, here is a reminder of resources available to members, accessible through the Resources page of the BTS website.

BTS Video Channel

A growing archive of videos, including the BTS Cyber Fest and exclusive interviews.

ABRSM Trombone Syllabus

This resource contains recordings made by professional trombonists of the current ABRSM Trombone Syllabus (Grades 1–5). The lists provide links to both the audio files and a ‘where to buy’ section for the printed scores, enabling students to audition pieces in preparation for their examinations.

BTS Play-Along sessions

Play-along versions of pieces from the Sheet Music Library.

Sheet Music Library

The Society holds a comprehensive selection of music in many genres arranged for various ensembles and trombone choirs, which may be borrowed for use at BTS Regional Events, other member events and teaching opportunities, provided no payment is received for the performance. Contact the Librarian to arrange access to the music.
