Unfortunately there is no clear answer to what amount constitutes fair use. However, if your performance isn't "transformative" in some way (used for education or critique, for example), it wouldn't be considered fair use regardless of the length of the excerpt.

Where can you find free sheet music for a trombone?
It will be difficult to find free sheet music for popular music, because most of it will be copyrighted... music is copyrighted until the composer has been dead for 100 years. After the composer has been dead for 100 years, the music is then considered to be in the public domain, which means it can then be used for free. So, music like Christmas carols or church hymns is in the public domain. However, if someone makes an arrangement of a public domain piece of music, that arrangement is now considered copyrighted by the arranger, and that arrangement is not in the public domain until the arranger has been dead for 100 years.

The pieces of music themselves are not copyrighted, they are in the public domain. However, a PERFORMANCE of the National Anthem may very well be copyrighted. You could use the TUNE of a National Anthem in a newly composed piece, but you could not use someone's arrangement of the National Anthem without their express, written permission.

You most likely will not find much popular music for free on the web, because it will be copyrighted. Music is automatically considered copyrighted until the composer has been dead for 100 years.

The one catch with public domain music, is that if someone makes an arrangement of a public domain piece of music, their arrangement is considered as being under copyright, so that arrangement is not in the public domain, even though the original melody was.

How much music can you legally add to a project?
The limit doesn't have to do with the amount of music added to a given project. It has to do with the rights to use any given piece of music. Music that is in the public domain can be used freely, without restriction. However, you must check to see that the recorded performance of the music is also in the public domain; it may not be. The song Morning Has Broken is from the old Shaker Hymnal and is in the public domain. The once very popular Cat Stevens recording of it is not. He doesn't own the music itself, but he does own his performance of it (or has assigned those rights to some other entity).Of course, you can make your own recording of music in the public domain without any problem at all. If your project is video, then you have to make sure that you purchase 'mechanical rights' in order to include the music in your video, if the music or the recorded performance of it are not yet in the public domain.
