Go to your local music shop and ask the clerk or owner to give you the name of a trombone instructor. While you`re there, pick up some beginning books. At home, though, take the mouth piece alone and try to play on it like a kazoo. It should "buzz" for you -- this is how you produce a tone on a brass instrument. Once you have gotten the hang of that, stick your mouth piece on your trombone and try it. Keep the slide all the way in. There are six or seven slide positions...I`m not exactly sure, I`m not a trombonist. But you`ll change the notes by using the different slide positions and by changing your embouchure (mouth position) slightly. Keep all that in mind as you`re going through the beginning books. However, I highly recommend taking private lessons.
