i just brought a new t-bone and i have a bunch a school music and about 8 books but i need something cool to play, like the music that is played at the football games, can anybody help me out

all trombones rock, but BASS TROMBONES are the BEST!! Nothing beats a bass bone blasting out low notes.

any third or forth player should think about switching to bass bone, there needs to more bass boners.

it works great for me + essentail elements 2000

right now in class we have to memorize all of the scales and then play them randomly in front of the whole class. im having a really hard time remembering all of the positions and i freak out every time i get called on - any suggestions?

Hi, I am needing the 4 sharp scales and their positions. They are E, A , D, and G. I have the scales but not the positions. I am a great trombone player but was never asked to play these until my allstate competition came up.

what about F# and C# major?
honestly, i`m not really sure why you need positions?
are you asking for a specific slide pattern for each scale or do you not know where the sharp notes are on your horn?
if you know the scales, or at least the key signatures, then all you really need is a position chart (which honestly, if you`re auditioning for all state, you really shouldn`t need any more)
that said... if you have questions about better slide position choices that will make the scales easier, shoot me an email, and i`ll help you out.

oh yeah.. B major is a sharp key also

Anyone at all know how to play A minor write me here or write me at detlion101 on aim

no sharps or flats for A natural minor

the best books for technique are: Arbans, Koprasch, and Rubank advanced method

for techunigue i use: koprash and muller

what is the chromatic scale for trombone?

the chromatic scale is a twelve not scale (thirteen if you count the octave) that consists entirely of half steps. where you start and finish is up to you.. usually one octave or your entire range. if it`s a requirement for an audtion usually the range will be given to you. for example, E to Bb1.
when forming a chromatic scale, just remember that B to C is a half step and so is E to F
so a one octave chromatic scale built on C
C, C#, D, D# (aka Eb), E, F, F#, G, G# (aka Ab), A, A# (aka Bb), B, C.
if you are just starting out with chromatics, keep in mind that half steps are very hard to tune, so keep your ears open and check yourself periodically with a tuner.
