First, the trombone is relatively large, so you should be careful when practicing or performing rehearsals. Don't bump the telescopic tube, it will make the telescopic tube inflexible. You can buy a special trombone stand to hold the trombone.
Second, the inner and outer tubes of the telescopic tube should be kept clean. Wipe with a soft brush and a soft dry cloth for three or four days, and apply special lubricating oil for trombone telescopic pipes to keep the elasticity of the telescopic pipes.
Third, practice playing indoors as much as possible, so as not to damage the inner and outer pipes when playing outdoors.
Fourth, clean the trombone every two weeks. When cleaning, you can drop one or two drops of trombone cleaning solution or household cleaning solution and rinse it repeatedly until it is clean. Keep the trombone clean.
Five, after each performance, be sure to clean the water in the horn and telescopic tube, so as to avoid water corrosion horn.
Six, the tuning tube should be lubricated frequently, and the lubricating oil should be changed once a month.
Seven, it is forbidden to use any cleaning agent to wipe the copper outside the trombone, because a good trombone body is protected by a paint film. If you wipe the copper with detergent, it will ruin the appearance of the trombone. If your body is not clean, you can wet it with a soft cloth or suede or wipe it with your breath.
Brief introduction of the famous trombone master Branimir Slocar
Branimir Slokar, 1946 was born in the northern Yugoslav city of maribor. After winning the first prize in the trombone group in the 7th Yugoslav Wind Music Competition held in Zagreb, he decided to take music as his lifelong career. When he graduated from Ljubljana Conservatory of Music in Yugoslavia with the first place (and concurrently served as the chief trombone of Ljubljana Radio Symphony Orchestra), he came to the world-famous concert hall-Paris National Conservatory of Music. After a year's study, Slocar graduated with the first place, and successively served as the chief trombone of the Symphony Orchestra of the Paris National Conservatory of Music and the Cologne Symphony Orchestra. He also won the first prize in the ARD International Competition in Munich, Germany and the Geneva International Competition in Switzerland.
197 1- 1977 is still the chief trombone of Berne Symphony Orchestra and teaches at Berne Conservatory of Music; From 1977, he still became the chief trombone of the German Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, and the conductor at that time was the famous conductor Rafael Kubelik. Since 1978, he has been teaching at the Cologne Conservatory of Music in Germany. Now he is a trombone professor at Frejborg Conservatory of Music and Berne Conservatory of Music!
Slocar has performed many times all over the world. He has traveled to many countries in Europe, America and Asia. It often appears in radio and television to improve the status of trombone. At the same time, he was appointed as the judge of Munich International Music Competition in Germany and Geneva National Music Competition in Switzerland.

The posture and skills of holding trombone
Hold the instrument tightly with the left hand to bear the full weight of the instrument, control the playing angle of the instrument and stabilize the position of the speaker on the lips. Students who use F-key numbers still need to operate the rotary valve button with their thumbs. Relax your shoulders, keep your big arms natural, and don't lift them too much or clip them on your body. Hold the outer tube of the telescopic tube with the right hand, and hold the outer tube crossbar of the thumb, forefinger and middle finger at the fingertips. Don't carry a load, so as not to increase the burden of positioning action. Shoulders, arms, wrists and fingers naturally relax, so as to coordinate and rhythmically complete posture movements. The palm of your hand should face your face to ensure the smooth and flexible movements of your wrist and fingers. Over the chest, wrist buckle, wrist hook, hands full grip and other methods greatly hinder the accuracy of position movements and the improvement of playing skills. The angle between the instrument and the body is about 80 degrees. The basic requirements of standing performance are: feet are naturally separated and shoulder-width, legs, waist, chest and front are naturally straight. The arms droop naturally, the center of gravity is between the feet, and the whole body is in a natural, straight and positive state. The basic requirements of sitting performance are: two-thirds of the chair surface, no hunchback, chest hook and leaning back. Keep the upper body in the right posture.
trombone
Musical Instrument Name: Trombone
Musical instrument tone: B flat. Application clef: bass clef, no shift notation. Scope of application: large group e- small group b flat.
Structure: nozzle, U-shaped sleeve (2.75m long), inner tube, tuning tube, bell mouth, etc. (Bass trombone also has a four-degree rotating piston and a four-degree additional tube). There is also a kind of piston trombone, which has been basically eliminated now.
Material: phosphor copper tube.
Musical instrument features: pride, brilliance, solemnity, grandeur and fullness, loud and powerful, gentle and euphemistic when playing weakly. Its timbre is distinct and unified, which can rarely be assimilated in the band, and can even compete with the whole band. Can play chromatic and unique sliding sound. Often play the bass part of gorgeous music. Military bands are the main instruments used to play powerful bass melodies. It is rarely used for solos in orchestras.
The trombone, also called the drawtube, is the only brass instrument that is technically imperfect and rarely improved. It changes the length and pitch of the horn by sliding the tube. The history of trombone can be traced back to15th century. It was called Sakbu about 1700 years ago. 17-/kloc-supernatural scenes used in church music and opera in the 0/8th century. In the19th century, the trombone has become a fixed instrument of the symphony orchestra. Trombone is also an important instrument in military bands, and it is also widely used in jazz bands, and is called "the king of jazz".
Mouth and posture of trombone playing
Beginners who play trombone will encounter a problem, that is, the position choice of mouth shape (also known as mouth shape). There are many trombone textbooks at home and abroad, especially some textbooks, which analyze and explain the relationship between mouth position and pronunciation when playing trombone from the medical point of view. The viewpoints demonstrated in all textbooks are correct, which is helpful and enlightening for beginners to learn to play trombone.
However, if you only learn from book theory and don't choose from performance (especially under the guidance of professional teachers), beginners often don't understand which mouth shape is the best. Conceptual mistakes often occur, which make it difficult to play, and set obstacles for playing basic exercises, trombone etudes or music in the future, which leads to changing the mouth shape and learning from scratch.
When learning to play trombone, the mouth shape can be simply explained as the position where the trombone mouth is placed on the lips when learning to play trombone. According to this theory, the mouth shape can be divided into three types:
1. The nozzle accounts for two thirds of the upper lip and one third of the lower lip (more on the top and less on the bottom).
2. The nozzle accounts for one-third of the upper lip and two-thirds of the lower lip (less on the top and more on the bottom).
3. Mouth 1 occupies half of the upper lip and half of the lower lip.
Because everyone's lips are different in size and thickness, and their teeth are arranged neatly, everyone's horn mouth is in a different position on his mouth when playing trombone. Therefore, trombone learners can choose any of the above three mouths when choosing and adopting the mouth shape, without having to decide which one, because there are many excellent trombone players in the world today who use these three mouths. In classical, modern and jazz music, trombone players are required to play different pitches and timbres, and any lip type can be played perfectly. However, trombone players with difficult playing skills do not mean that * * * all adopt a mouth shape as the best playing mouth shape, and each mouth shape can play the above music form well.
In the long-term teaching and playing, I think that the mouth shape of trombone beginners is basically selected and gradually fixed after learning to play trombone for about two weeks. Of course, it is also related to its own conditions. Many people have good conditions, neat teeth, and generally have a straight mouth and will not miss. Trombone learners should be reminded that it is not advisable to tilt their mouths to one side. Because the best pronunciation point of our lips is the center of the lips, not the sides. However, some people have irregular teeth or poor lip conditions, which leads to crooked mouths and trumpet playing. This requires us to go to the stomatological hospital for dental plastic surgery as soon as possible under the guidance of professional teachers, which is conducive to playing trombone well. Of course, a mouth with a horn can also play, but it is difficult to be an excellent trombone player. And the cost is more than others, but the learning result is not ideal. Therefore, it is best to straighten the horn mouth by straightening the teeth and make full use of the best pronunciation point in the center of the lips, so as to play the most full and concentrated beautiful timbre of the trombone.
When we play trombone (as do other wind instruments), once the mouth shape has been selected and fixed, the breath will be placed in the most important position (I will focus on breath in my next article "Breathing"). Our lips are just sounding tools, vibrating under the blowing of qi, just like the whistle of clarinet and oboe, vibrating and sounding under the action of qi. Therefore, trombone learners don't have to study, think about it or change their tune frequently. Even if you change your mouth, you should do it under the guidance of a professional teacher. Don't change their mouths at will. Because there are too many examples of failure in this field, a few people neglect their studies because of changing their mouths.
Study methods and practice time of trombone
Because each trombone learner's music foundation is different and his acceptance ability is different, the time and way of studying and attending classes are generally "one-on-one". Even if each teacher only talks to one student in class. This class has great advantages. First of all, there is enough teaching time for students to play first, and then the teacher will explain the demonstration to improve students' playing ability. Secondly, without the interference of others in class, you can know your performance more clearly. Nowadays, many primary and secondary schools take the form of collective classes, which does more harm than good. A teacher faces 5, 6 or 7, 8 students in each class, and the time is short, and each student has relatively little time to play, so it is impossible for the teacher to listen to each student's class carefully. In this kind of group class, it is difficult for students to improve their performance level. In the professional conservatory of music or art colleges, there is no collective class for instrumental music learning, and all classes are "one-on-one".
The daily practice time depends on the child's learning situation. In view of the heavy cultural classes of primary and secondary school students, we should keep 1-2 hours of practice time every day from Monday to Friday, and can appropriately double the practice time on weekends. For beginners, especially children, practice time should not be too concentrated, and practice in sections to cultivate children's interest in practice. Never force it to practice mechanically. That can only be counterproductive. Long-term forced practice will kill children's interest and enthusiasm in learning music. As a wind instrument, it is very important to arrange the practice time reasonably. As learners, parents can refer to the advice of professional teachers to help their children arrange their practice time reasonably.
