The B-flat major scale for trombone consists of the following positions: 1st position (B♭), 4th position (C), 1st position (D), 4th position (E♭), 1st position (F), 4th position (G), and 2nd position (A). The notes in the scale are B♭, C, D, E♭, F, G, and A, returning to B♭. Trombone players typically use these positions to achieve the correct pitches while playing the scale.
For the Bb blues scale (Bb, Db, Eb, E, F, Ab), the trombone slide positions are as follows: Bb (1st position), Db (4th position), Eb (2nd position), E (3rd position), F (1st position), and Ab (5th position). This scale can be played effectively by moving between these positions as you navigate the notes. Practicing the transitions between these slide positions will help in achieving smoother scale performance.
The F minor scale consists of the notes F, G, Ab, Bb, C, Db, and Eb. For trombone, the slide positions for this scale are as follows: F (1st position), G (4th position), Ab (1st position), Bb (3rd position), C (4th position), Db (6th position), and Eb (4th position). This pattern helps players navigate the scale smoothly while maintaining intonation.
The slide positions for the A Major scale, starting on low A, are as follows: A - 2 B - 7 C#- 5 D - 4 E - 2 F#- 5 G#- 3 A - 2
When playing in the key of Bb major on a trombone with an F attachment, the slide positions are typically 1st, 4th, and 6th positions.
The slide positions for the A Major scale, starting on low A, are as follows: A - 2 B - 7 C#- 5 D - 4 E - 2 F#- 5 G#- 3 A - 2
The notes and positions for A-sharp are exactly the same as for B-flat.

Both octaves go like this, from bottom to top: 5, 3, 1, 7, 5, 3, 1, 5, 3, 1, 4, 2, 3, 1, 3. To get back down, run the series in reverse. This is the hardest scale on Trombone.
To play a Db scale on trombone, start by finding the positions for each note of the scale. The notes in the Db major scale are Db, Eb, F, Gb, Ab, Bb, and C. Begin with Db in 4th position, then move to 2nd for Eb, 1st for F, 4th for Gb, 2nd for Ab, 1st for Bb, and finish in 3rd position for C. Practice the scale ascending and descending to develop fluidity and accuracy.
In the Trombone breeze easy book, the f scale two octaves is found between chapter 2 and chapter 5.
