A Trombone does not need valves to change pitch because it uses a slide to produce various notes. Along the slide there are seven positions and each position can hit several notes, depending on how well you play.

How do you convert piano notes to trombone?

The trombone and piano are both non-transposing instruments, so the trombone can read and play piano music as written. That said, if the piano part is too high or low, it will need to be raised or lowered to fit the trombone's range.

How is a trombone easily recognised?

A trombone is one of the easiest recognized instruments since there are very few other instruments that are similar (i.e. clarinet and oboe). A trombone is generally made up of two pieces joined together where the main hand holds the instrument. The lower piece looks like and skinny but long stretched "U" while the upper piece is a similar shape but flares out into the "bell" of the horn. A trombone is normally made of brass or a like metal and can come in a variety of colors dependent upon the manufacture. An example is that Yamaha makes a tri-colored trombone... very elegant looking. When fully assembled, the trombone is one continuous piece of metal similarly shaped as a widely stretched "S" beginning at the mouth piece and continues to the Bell. The standard trombone, unlike nearly all other instruments, does not have any valves, keys, or strings. The sound and notes are produced by elongating the slide into one of seven positions. Moving the slide in or out will change the note higher or lower based on the needs of the musician. In addition to the standard trombone, there are variations that are available. The valve trombone is similar in shape, but has valves like a trumpet or cornet and has a fixed slide. A triggered trombone has become popular with musicians who have graduated from beginner to a more advanced level of play. These triggered trombones look like a standard "S" trombone, but on the upper portion of the instrument has a value, similar to a French Horn, to divert the air and change the note. This is generally seen as an "F" attachment trombone but can be in other keys. This attachment, in the "F" range is generally used to eliminate the need to position the slide into the seventh position or to quickly change notes without having to move the slide. Finally, there is another trombone commonly called a Super Bone or Super Trombone. This trombone is tricky to play, but produces incredibly unique sounds and the master of the Super Bone is a talented musician. A Super Bone combines the valves of the valve trombone with the slide and trigger of a regular trombone. This trombone like as unique and amazing as it sounds. This trombone can be played slide only, valve only, or a combination of both at the same time.

How is the trambone played?

First of all, it is called the trOmbone. You play the trombone by moving the lower slide (located next to the bell when assembled) to different positions. Extending this slide lowers the pitch, while shortening it raises the pitch. To play different octaves, you need to change your embouchure (your lips), by either tightening or loosing the lips.
