The word is CLEF. Trombone music is typically written in bass clef. However, music can be found written in tenor and alto clef. Occassionally, treble clef is used.

In many older, classical pieces there were three parts written: alto, tenor, and bass. The alto trombone played in alto clef, tenor in tenor clef, and bass in bass clef. Most modern music is written in bass clef.

It can use either because it is for a baritone/euphonium player who wants a trombone sound, but does not want to learn the slide positions.

Does trombone has three values?

A trombone has no valve- only a slide. A valve trombone, or a marching trombone, though, have three valves.


What group is a trombone in?

Typically, trombone players play trombone. Sometimes, trumpet players will attempt to play the trombone. They often must rely on valve trombones since the valve system is the same between the two instruments.


What does the flute play treble clef or bass clef?

Bass, but sometimes tenor when playing higher music. You'll sometimes come across treble clef in French and Belgian publications. It is used to avoid extra leger lines above the tenor clef.


What is a cross between a trumpet and a trombone called?

Marching Trombone> It looks like a large trumpet. It allows for easier marching , not having to use the slide.


Can a Trombone have valves?

Yes. There is an instrument called a "valve trombone", which basically looks like a trombone except that the slide doesn't move and there are three valves near the mouthpiece that look a lot like trumpet valves. In fact, trumpet players are often asked to play valve trombone in middle and high school jazz bands when no regular trombone players are around to fill the seat. This is possible because the fingerings on a valve trombone are exactly the same as those on a trumpet. Some trombone players, me included, find the valve trombone to have a somewhat flatter (tone, not pitch) sound than a traditional trombone. However, a good enough musician can easily achieve a beautiful sound on a valve trombone. Additionally, there is a horn called a marching trombone that also three valves. It is similar to a baritone, but the tubing length and bore sizes are closer to those of a trombone.

What is the different slide trombone valve trombone?

A lot. Although they look similar they are played differently. The main difference is the mechanism used to create the notes/pitches. The valve trombone is basically a baritone horn in the shape of a trombone. It uses a combination of 3 valves like a trumpet to generate the different pitches by the vibration of the player's lips in the mouth piece and the combination of valves pressed down. A slide trombone uses a slide to change the wave length of the ptich combined with the vibration of the player's lips in the mouthpiece. Notes or pitches rely upon sound waves. To change pitch you change the length of the sound wave. The valve trombone uses valves to chnages the course of the air producing the sound wave to lengthen it or shorten it. The slide trombone does this by moving the slide up or down.


What does a trombone do to change pitches?

He or she plays the Trombone, a musical instrument of the Brass family. Trombonists can play in an orchestra and/or band, and can also be used as a solo instrument. The trombonist reads music or plays songs by ear on the slide or valve trombone.


What instrument was used before the trumpet?

it was a "valve trombone" basically a trombone and trumpet combined...finally someone got smart and split them up into 2 instruments with different ranges.


How many keys does a trombone have?

Trombones come in three keys * Alto Trombone is in the key of E * Tenor Trombone is Bb * Bass Trombone is F They do not have keys that change the notes, the notes are changed by adjusting the length of the slide. *yes, there ARE keys on a trombone. it is for a different kind of trombone called a valve trombone. there are three keys. to change the notes, you would play with either more or less air
