What do trombone players do to change there pitches?

Lips. Unlike woodwind, they (or more accurately, we) change our mouths while playing. Thinning the mouth with less pressure will cause it to get high, and doing an 'oh' sound with more pressure makes a low sound. Moving the slide is only half of it; you can play probably 3 notes as a beginner in one position by moving the mouth. Later on, about 4 years in, you can do 5 notes on a single position.

What is the different slide trombone valve trombone?

A lot. Although they look similar they are played differently.

The main difference is the mechanism used to create the notes/pitches.

The valve trombone is basically a baritone horn in the shape of a trombone. It uses a combination of 3 valves like a trumpet to generate the different pitches by the vibration of the player's lips in the mouth piece and the combination of valves pressed down.

A slide trombone uses a slide to change the wave length of the ptich combined with the vibration of the player's lips in the mouthpiece.

Notes or pitches rely upon sound waves. To change pitch you change the length of the sound wave. The valve trombone uses valves to chnages the course of the air producing the sound wave to lengthen it or shorten it. The slide trombone does this by moving the slide up or down.

The United States of America became a country in 1776.

What types of trombone?

If you've every heard a trombone choir or quartet, then you know there are several types of trombone. Originally, and very seldom played anymore except in traditional orchestral groups, the sacbut is a trombone that has no tuning slide, a very small bell, and thin bore. It is quite a finicky instrument to play and has a range comparable to a tenor trombone. As in every other section, there is of course the bass trombone, which is becoming more and more popular. It has been used often in jazz ensembles for its edgy tone and has existed in brass bands and orchestras for years, but has only recently migrated to average level bands. It has a large bell, a wide bore, and often extra attachments that allow it to play even lower (double valve). The tenor trombone can come in a small bore or wider bore model, and its bell is smaller than the bass but bigger than an alto's. It usually has a single trigger valve f attachment. The alto trombone is smaller still, and reads in tenor clef (confusingly enough). The soprano trombone is very rare, and is limited to use in Moravian trombone choirs. It is the very cute size of a trumpet, with a tiny mouthpiece.
