trombone music on bass

[two fingers]

I've been wanting to improve my reading skills for several years now. A couple years ago, I picked up "40 Progressive Studies for Trombone" on a whim. Not everything is pertinent to bass guitar in here and some of it is just plain hard but it is a great resource for anyone wanting to work on reading!

Having said that, does anyone have anything else written for trombone that works well on bass? It could be studies/etudes or it could be music specifically written for performance.

Edit: forgot to mention that Bach Cello Suites are great too! A bit of a learning curve (don't start on these!) but good way to learn harmonic structure!

I read from my Arban's trombone book when my bass reading skills need some polishing up. It's a good change up to read music that wasn't written for the instrument you are playing.

Some of these are available as free downloads. Trombone reads at concert pitch, but there's no particular reason to play them in a higher octave. Be aware though that the Bass Trombone books (like Kopprash) are written way below the staff.
Also the Rubank Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced books are pretty good. They tend to say in flat key signatures mostly and are not 'bass like', and that's a good thing.
While you're at it don't forget there are a lot of pdf books for Bassoon and 'Cello that are very useful for reading. (though bassoon and 'cello both move into Tenor Clef in the more advanced etudes).

The Bach Cello Suites have been a long time go-to for bassists. As long as we are talking about it here, it deserves mention..... BONUS: they are also really beautiful pieces just to play.
