Trombone Lessons
Trombone
The trombone is a musical instrument in the brass family. As with all brass instruments, sound is produced when the player's vibrating lips (embouchure) cause the air column inside the instrument to vibrate. Unlike most other brass instruments, which have valves that, when pressed, alter the pitch of the instrument, trombones instead have a telescoping slide mechanism that varies the length of the instrument to change the pitch. However, many modern trombone models also use a valve attachment to lower the pitch of the instrument.

The trombone is one of the most popular brass instruments and is characterized by its large bell and slide. Popular in jazz, concert and brass bands, and symphony orchestras this instrument has a large and varied repertoire.
The trombone consists of four parts. They are: mouthpiece, tubing, slider and amplifier (bell). For a Trombone to make sound the trombonist has to buzz their lips in the mouthpiece while blowing air at the same time. In order to create higher or lower pitches he has to adjust the opening between his lips on the mouthpiece and use the slide.
