I've found some flexibility exercise pages, but I don't remember which method did they come from.

Somebody knows ?

That’s from Robert Marsteller’s “Basic Routines for Trombone.”

Yeah, I'd ignore the comments. There's an air balance (air pressure, to be more accurate, but with horn on face the distinction makes no difference), and tongue tuning of the cavity is massively important, to the exclusion of his coordinated muscular movements. And the exercise he starts with will give fits trying to coordinate the down slur to the up slur with an articulation in the middle. Other than that, I'm sure it's fine.

Yeah, I'm sure he sounded great on these, too.
