How do you read sheet music for trombone?

Answer 1

Reading notes are simple. if you have a Trombone but dont have music.. or a book to tell you what notes are what position the visit this site. http://www.norlanbewley.com/trombone/slide-positions.htm it may seem weird but the picture shows notes and below the notes it says the positions for the notes . if your unfamiliar with positions then see here http://www.yeodoug.com/resources/faq/faq_images/slidechart_01.jpg

is shows all the positions for the trombones slide to be

in order to hit a B flat you simply keep the slide all the way in and make a buzzing sound with your two lips closed (your teeth must be open) buzz with your lips.

Answer 2

Tabs are intended as an easy way to show guitar players what frets to hold down and which strings to strum. To play on the trombone, you would have to think about the fret on the guitar and what note it is. Since the trombone can not play more than one note at a time, it would become difficult to know which represented fret contains the dominant note which eventually makes the melody.

This can not be done.

If you are in a band, talk to the person in charge of the music and let them know that this is not possible and that you must have properly notated music.
