Tommy Dorsey learned to play the Trombone from his father, who was a music teacher and a trombone player himself. Dorsey also honed his skills by studying the techniques of prominent trombonists of his time and practicing diligently. His early exposure to music and formal instruction laid the foundation for his successful career as a prominent bandleader and musician.
Tommy Dorsey primarily played a Conn trombone, specifically the Conn 88H model. This instrument became closely associated with his sound and style, contributing to his signature smooth tone. Dorsey's mastery of the trombone and his choice of this brand helped shape his legendary status in jazz and big band music.
No. By the time the Goodman band was established, Dorsey was already co-leading the Dorsey Brothers Orchestra with his brother Jimmy.
Yes I have. I learned trombone for band in school, and then taught myself to play guitar in my free time.
A single Trombone cannot play a chord by itself.
Gustav Holst was taught to play the violin and piano. But, he was a frail child. His father encouraged him to learn to play the trombone, believing it would improve his son's asthma.Eventually, he gave up the piano due to a nerve condition in his right hand. From that point, he concentrated on the trombone and, of course, composing.Ref:Michael Short, Gustav Holst: The Man and his MusicOxford: Oxford University Press, 1990
