Trombone

Trombone

Like the French horn, trombone players should have good "musical ears." The trombone is played like the other brass instruments (buzzing into a cup-shaped mouthpiece) but uses a slide instead of valves. The slide is not marked or notched, and players rely on their memory and hearing to tell if they are in the EXACT proper location. Students with good musical ears (such as Honors Chorus students) should consider trombone.
