I am glad to see another trombone player who realizes that using your eyebrows is in fact a critical part of effective playing! 😁

[@igmothemagus]

The eyebrows are critical!!!

[@awperative9710]

You should see Alessi's eyebrows lol

[@americangirlpartyhouse4774]

B. Ellen Lininger I agree

[@Ahmad-Mounir44]

You should see Martin Scrosese eyebrows

[@samuelhicks7990]

In class I was told to raise my eyebrows to play an F better😂

[@SaltyTubers]

TOTALLY AGREE! Best decision I made when I was 11, led to many, many opportunities and friends along the way! Thank you for your service!

I played the trombone in middle school as a fine arts elective, but as a young kid, I saw it as more of an obligation than a passion. I would’ve much rather played video games after school than practice lol. Now that I’m grown, I’m wanting to take it up again. Good video!

[@bobjacobson858]

I hope you DO take up trombone again. Although I had started on clarinet while in grade school and took up a couple other instruments along the way, I had always really wanted to play brass. About two months before I turned 69, I bought a used Conn Director trombone off eBay, and have enjoyed playing it ever since, taking lessons along the way.

I always remember Captain Glen Miller in the army playing his own style of army music and it sounded fantastic. Absolutely adore bands. Salutes the United States Navy Band.

My 6th grader signed up for a trombone as her choice of instrument for Band class. So here I am trying to learn what exactly is a trombone…

[@ktang001]

Trombone = slidey trumpet!

[@trav.theshep9011]

I'm in 7th grade band. and I play alto sax, but I'm learning to play the trombone. I've always loved both sax and trombone, this video helped me alot!

[@epicbrumoment8810]

Hehe I like to poke people with the slide, and also it’s a cool low instrument

[@margrettawilliams4192]

I am grateful for military members who serve in this organization. You are awesome!

[@cindycasillas5684]

Way to go, Colin!

[@marshallschaefer9632]

basically, trombones are trumpets reloaded.

[@aviatorsound914]

They are.

[@Yasmine087]

It looks like a trumpet 🎺 but with a long bone

[@abdulmajeedahmadi1990]

Haha

[@GiordanoBruno42]

Is trombone more difficult than trumpet then? It looks like you are doing the same thing as trumpet with your mouth but having a much harder time with the notes. Kind of like a theramin or a fretless bass where your hand needs to know exactly where it should be.

[@AlexOBrutal]

I play trombone. You can't say its harder than a trumpet. Its just that a slight change on the slide can change the tone of the note, and change a chord with that. You need to be really precise with the slide. This is also a good thing, since you can "tune" the note so much easier by just changing a bit on the slide. ;)
