All About the Trombone
|
Trombone is one of the members of the Brass Family offered at the Amagansett School for Fourth through Sixth Grade instrumental program students. You do have to test it out and see if your arms are long enough to make it through the first five slide positions before you can sign up to play it. If you're not tall enough for the trombone yet, that's OK. You could always choose trumpet and learn the basics of embouchure formation and tone production and switch over to the trombone when you're ready.
I hope you enjoy this page of resources for all of our school's trumpet players! |

Slide Position Charts and Helpful Technique LinksThere's a lot to remember when starting to play an instrument. These are some GREAT resources to save, use at home, or even print to add to your Band Binder.
Be sure to bring or send me links to any resources you might find on your own so I can add them to the resources page :) |
Playing ExamplesSometimes it's more fun to practice when you can hear what the piece is supposed to sound like. This page provides sound clips of some of our songs, NYSSMA playing examples, and all sorts of other flute media for your listening pleasure.
