Trombone History

“The Trombone” tells the story of a boy, Jerry, who loses and finds his trombone. Jerry walks into his music classroom and realizes he forgot his trombone on the bus. He leaves without a lesson and rides home. Jerry tries to find his instrument by calling and visiting the bus company but is unsuccessful. Fortunately, a passenger from the bus turned in Jerry’s trombone to the music school, and Jerry has it back the very next day.

The clarinet is a woodwind instrament consisting of a cylindrical wood, metal, or ebonite pipe with a bell-shaped opening at one end and a mouthpiece at the other end, to which a thin reed is attached. The clarinet has five different sections, the mouthpiece, the barrel, the upper section, the lower section, and the bell. The length of the entire instrument is 60 cm long. The mouthpiece section consists of a slotted cylinder, to which a reed is attached by a metal clamp called a ligature. The mouthpiece plugs into the next section which is a barrel. The barrel is simply a connecting cylinder to which the mouthpiece and the upper section plugs into. The upper section is a cylindrical pipe consisting of 4 holes and 9 keys placed in

     The instruments played during Jazz were the average instruments played today, and nothing dissimilar. There would be about ten instruments in a band such as trumpet, string bass, guitar, piano, drums, saxophone, clarinet, trombone, and oboe. They are not all of the instruments but the basics. But in general, any instrument can become a Jazz instrument as long as it can play to the beat of Jazz.

The saxophone is considered one of the easiest instruments to play. Even neophytes are able to make a noise on the saxophone (even if it is more of a squeak). To make sound on a brass instrument, such as the trumpet, one needs to purse his lips just right, which can be difficult for many people. Also, brass players have a more difficult time changing octaves (high and low notes) than reed players because they need to change their whole mouth position instead of pushing a single button. So although playing an instrument such as the saxophone may seem like

Throughout my 5th grade year, I practiced the clarinet and made my way through our first book. I enjoyed band class and lessons, especially getting to be with some of my friends, but I kept thinking about the trombone. I still wanted to play it. By the end of the year, I made up my mind. I was going to play the trombone. I talked to my parents, and my mom talked to Mrs. Jones, allowing me to take the school’s trombone home over the summer between 5th and 6th grade. The first day I got it, I couldn’t contain my excitement. I took it right out of the case and put it together. I was at my parents’ work,

I am learning to play trombone.　I do not belong to brass band in high school. I am taught in music school than. I learned to play it alone. I want to play it in group. it is my dream that I want to enter the orchestra. in the above I said to play it in group. that is because I know that it is fun to playing a instrument in group and an individual.

If you were to go back to the 15th century, it would be easy to recognize the predecessor of the trombone. Previously the sackbut, this Italian instrument was originally intended to accompany a church organ, so it didn’t have music written specifically for it. This fifty hour process involves lots of shaping and torching in order to get a beautiful outcome with a powerful sound.

I play the trombone majestically. Sometimes, people practice an instrument for over ten years, but I have already mastered it in only three. This skill is not only good for bragging but also for chair position. I have had the best chair placement for trombones in our school after only one year of learning to play. I used to play percussion, but I felt it wa just too easy playing drums. It was not a challenge to myself

Development of Trombones The trombone is probably one of the most recognizable instruments of the low brass family, but when and where did the trombone originate? It all started in the fifteenth century in Germany, when someone thought that we needed a trumpet with a slide most likely for easier playability. The first trombone was called the Sackbut the sackbut was basically a lower key trumpet with a slide Instead of valves. The bell was roughly 5 inches in diameter and the boring of the bell joint was about the same as a trumpet’s boring.

Hornpipe is “an obsolete reed instrument with a mouthpiece made of horn.” To me that seems like a broad definition you could think of a clarinet, rig and other instruments. The shape of this instrument is like a half moon but flattened at the ends. The hornpipe was

The two most common types of trumpets are Bb and C trumpets. Each trumpet has characteristics that make it useful in different contexts. The C trumpet has a bright and penetrating sound, while the Bb trumpet has a mellow, relaxed sound. The more commonly used instrument is the Bb trumpet, but all professional trumpet players play the C trumpet as well. Changing between instruments poses nominal problems since the basic finger combinations stay the same.

Some brass instruments that were common in the Renaissance period were the sackbut, valve less trumpets, and the zink or cornetto. The sackbut was a slide brass instrument that is the predecessor to the trombone. Although there is no real indication that sackbuts were illustrated in the Codex, musicologists note that it is a period instrument. The valve less trumpet is able to play in the highest harmonics and during the Renaissance, were used primarily for fanfares and wars. The valve less trumpet is probably most likely what the image in the Codex

and distribute it, keys and valves to admit wind to the pipes, and one or more

Today the trumpet is used for making music in many different kinds of musical situations. It is used in musicals with other instruments for theme music as well as dance music. The modern day trumpet is also used in marching bands, concert bands, as well as jazz bands. My favorite setting where the trumpet is used is brass choir, where only two trumpets are used along with a trombone, tuba, and French horn. There are so many venues that the trumpet is used that many do not think about, such as rock bands and even country bands. When most people think of the trumpet, they think of marching bands or concert bands, but in reality the trumpet has a much wider variety that it is used for in today’s world than many think.

The saxophone was invented in 1840 by Adolphe Sax,a Belgian instrument maker,flautist,and a clarinetist. The first saxophone that was patented was on the 18th of June 1846.The place the first saxophone was played was Brusother Assembales sells then Mr.Sax moved to Paris and sold saxophones there. He also made several improvements to the bass clarinets. Mr.Sax wanted the saxophone to be at an octave unlike the clarinets, that rises in pitch.The saxophone rises in pitch by a twelfth if overblown. Overblown instruments have identical fingering for both registers. Mr. Sax invented a quartet of saxophones including the alto, soprano, tenor and baritone. The clarinet and saxophone are very much alike even though they don't look anything like.
