A New Resource for the Trombone Community
The International Trombone Association is proud to partner with the Brass Bulletin Digital Archive to provide our members with access to one of the most important historical collections in the brass world.
For more than three decades, Brass Bulletin served as an international forum for performers, educators, researchers, and instrument makers. Today, that remarkable legacy is being preserved through a comprehensive digitization project that is making the archive available to musicians worldwide.
Whether you are a performer, teacher, student, researcher, or simply curious about the history of our instrument, the Brass Bulletin archive offers a unique window into the evolution of brass playing and pedagogy.

About Brass Bulletin
Brass Bulletin was published between 1971 and 2003 and became one of the most influential international journals dedicated to brass performance, pedagogy, repertoire, instrument making, and musical culture.
Today, the archive is being carefully digitized and rebuilt as a searchable online resource. More than 120 issues and 1,200 articles will eventually be available, with new material added every week. The collection includes interviews, historical documents, pedagogical articles, performance practice studies, instrument research, and contributions from many of the leading brass performers and teachers of the period.
