When you play the Trombone, you put your lips together and vibrate your lips gently, like blowing a little raspberry. when a little buzzing sound (this sounds a little like a bee) comes out of your lips successfully, try it into the mouth piece, and then in the actual instrument. when this happens, and you warm up (keep blowing, trying to change notes by either curling your lips in to go higher or loosening your lips to go lower) then you can try the slide - the positions are 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th (you rarely go to 7th position) and you can get different notes on then. for example, in 1st position, you could play (going up) pedal Bb, Bb, F, Bb an octave higher, D, F an octave up, top Bb and so on, but when starting out, these last few notes are very hard to reach! In 2nd position, you can play pedal A , A, E, A an octave up, E the octave up and so on. In 3rd position, all the notes are flattened eg. Ab, Eb and so on. In 4th position, you can play pedal G, G, D, G an octave up, B, D an octave up and so on. In 5th position, they are all flattened again as in 3rd. In 6th position, you can play pedal F, F, C F an octave up, A, C an octave up and so on, and In 7th, there are notes such as E, and B but you rarely use 7th position.
