[Trombone-l] 51 positions of the trombone?

[Borden, Lawrence]

Folks,

 

Really = NOT the Kama Sutra, rather I found a page in a piece of music
outlining the "51 positions of the trombone." I seem to remember, in my
Swiss cheese brain, that this was a method book written by a Chicago
trombone player/teacher. I met him in the 60's, but I only have a vague
memory of his name (maybe Dr. Mark ______ ?). Does anyone else recall
having seen this. 

 

I think it is one of the more stupid topics for a method book,
especially since no two trombones are alike, but I do understand and
appreciate the theoretical acoustics involved - but a method book????
