It's extremely rare to play a high b flat in 8th grade. However when I was in 8th grade we had a scale test to see our ranges. the low brass was expected to do a written full range chromatic scale from low E flat to a high B flat, Two octave F major scale and a two octave G major scale, then we were to do one octave for the rest of the scales.

What is the frequency for a trombone?

The frequency range for the most commonly played notes on the trombone is 82.41 Hz (E2 or "low E," just below the bass clef staff) to 466.16 Hz (Bb4 or "high B-flat," fourth ledger line above the bass clef staff). Of course, the upper range of any brass instrument is largely decided by the ability of the player. The lowest notes (the pedal notes) on the trombone begin at Bb1 ("pedal B-flat") or 58.27 Hz and extend down to E1 ("pedal E") or 41.20 Hz. (The frequencies shown are correct for tuning at "A=440")


How do you play Land of a 1000 Dances on the Trombone?

On my version, you rest for six measures. Then you play a high C. You play a B, a high C, a B, and a high C (you play the last four notes as sixteenth notes and you hold the last C.) Then you play a B, a high C, a B, and a high C in sixteenth notes, a B and a G as an eighth note, a B as a quarter note, and a G and an F as an eighth note. You rest for one beat and then you play a B, a high C, a B, and a high C again as a sixteenth note, an F as a quarter note, and a D as an eighth note. Then you play E flat, E, E natural, and E as a sixteenth note, two F's as quarter notes, an E flat, a low C, and an F that's a half note. Then you play an E flat, an E, an E natural, and an E as a sixteenth notes, and then you play an F as a quarter note. You rest for five measures and then you play a B , a high C, a B, and a high C as a sixteenth note. Then you repeat the last sixteenth note I just said.


How do you play good high notes on a trombone for a long period of time without killing your lips?

PRACTICE! I'm first chair trombone in my 7th grade band, and I can hold a high G (1st position) for 8 counts. What helped me was to work my way up on the high notes. For example, if a high C (3rd position) is high to you, just keep playing and holding that note until you feel you're better at it. Then move up to high D (1st), and so on.
