i am a trombonist. if you are looking into playing one your will need lessons but anyway you play the Trombone like this: you buzz with your lips; you hold your lips together and blow. depending on the pitch your will hold your lips together tighter, resulting in higher sound, or loosen your lips, causing a lower sound. you buzz into the mouth peice to make the sound there are 7 slide positions on the trombone, each you can play more than one note. I use the bell (the thing that the sound comes out) as a marker to where the positions are, as they can be hard to memorise, i am only an ammature trombonist but i have been playing for over 1 and a half years now so i know what i am talking about

∙ 14y agoRest the embouchure (pronounced ohm-buh-shure) plate on your bottom lip. Center the embouchure hole on the center of your lips. Check by touching the embouchure hold with the tip of your tongue. Next, gently roll the head joint forward so that approximately 1/4 of the embouchure hole is covered by your lower lip. Keep upper and lower teeth spaced slightly apart. Draw the corners of your mouth straight back and relax your lower lip. Make a small opening in the center of your lips. Blow air partly into and partly across the embouchure hole. It helps to practice in front of a mirror. Roll the head joint in or out to find the embouchure position that produces your best clear and full tone.

To get a good quality tone from the clarinet,sit up like your back is against a ruler and put your mouth a half inch to an inch on the reed, spread your bottom lips over your teath about 1/4 inch into your mouth, and send fast, hot air into the instrument.
