Pucker your lips by tightening the edges. The tighter your lips are, the higher the notes are going to go. If you loosen your lips, the notes will go lower. Insert the mouthpiece into the Trombone and twist so that you will secure it and make sure that it won't fall out. Unlike other instruments, the trombone player must move the slide to get the right pitch. The farther out the slide goes, the lower the notes go. WARNING! The slide is very fragile. Even a slight bend in the slide will ruin the trombone. You will have to oil the trombone very frequently to keep the slide moving very fast. Here are the notes and positions for the trombone. There are 7 positions. 1: B♭, F, B♭', D', F' 2: A, E, A', C#', E' 3: A♭, E♭, A♭', C', E♭' 4: G', D, G, B, D' (alt) 5: G♭', D♭, G♭, B♭' (alt), D♭' (alt) 6: F', C, F (alt), A' (alt), C' (alt) 7: E', B, E (alt), G#' (alt), B' (alt) -WikiBooks To empty the spit out of the trombone, you have to press the spit valve down and blow into the trombone.
