Trombone

The Trombone is a member of the Brass Family. Instruments of the brass family create their noise by buzzing the lips on a bell shaped mouth piece. The buzzing sound resonates though the long tubes until being magnified by the open bell. The trombone has a slide that when moved back and forth changes the pitch of the instrument. The trombone is one of the 4 instruments covered in our grades 5 & 6 music program. Typically trombone players have the choice to either stay with the trombone or eventually audition a secondary brass instrument such as the French Horn, Euphonium or Tuba.

One interesting difference about the tromebone is that its notes are writen in the bass clef but you sould be more worried about practicing in small spaces. media type="youtube" key="MskwEWVxTj8" width="167" height="140" || Trombone Buzzing media type="youtube" key="_qKWeTzzSVw" width="167" height="140" || Mouth Piece media type="youtube" key="0R2lD4Brp0Y" width="167" height="140" || How to Hold the Trombone media type="youtube" key="q45Lt4owUng" width="167" height="140" || media type="youtube" key="cSceUrxb_9I" width="167" height="140" || Begining Pitch media type="youtube" key="Sa1MG5-lxXo" width="167" height="140" ||  ||   ||
