Set aside time to practice every day. Even 10 minutes is better than nothing. You can always find a little time here and there. Sometimes we put off practicing and then try to make up for it with marathon sessions (often the night before a lesson or an audition). Nope, that usually doesn’t work.
So many things work so hard to grab our attention! Whole companies depend on it to make money. Set aside your device and slow your mind just a bit; you’ll be a better trombonist (and happier person!).
Did I just say ‘patient’ twice? Why, yes I did! Progress takes time. First, you have to notice the little details. Second, you have to be willing to fix them patiently over time. Is it frustrating? Yes!! But it is so satisfying when you get it right.
Every practice session has little successes and failures. Find the better moments and repeat them. Don’t beat yourself up when it doesn’t go right. Just pause and reflect. Consider keeping a journal of little practice victories. It’s so easy to beat yourself down. Why not build yourself up?
This may be the most important tip of all! So many young trombonists play by feel. Your first step is to have a clear sound in your mind. Hear a great performer in your head. Imitate that sound!
Want to get better? Go observe someone who is really good! Listen and look. Pay close attention to them. Show them your appreciation. Imitate them.
Even if you can’t get to a live concert, there are videos of great performers (and a few duds, too). Pick a short segment and watch it 3 or 4 times. Notice every detail!
Balance your head over your center of gravity. Many young players tilt the head and learn to play that way. Sit or stand tall and bring the instrument to you.
Unlike many instruments, the trombone needs room in front. The music stand gets in the way! Don’t point down to fit under the stand. Position it a bit to the right so you can play with good posture and still see your music.
When the music is tricky, we often tense up. Then, we learn to play tense and don’t even notice it. Imagine you have a ‘tension meter’ ranging from 1-10. Are you playing at a 7? Can you make it a 5? How about a 3?

Nov 1, 2023 · Relax your right-hand grip and shoulders. Always maintain a firm grip on the trombone with your left hand, even as you relax your right hand. 3. Keep your body centered when playing. This loosens up your chest and stomach, which allows your diaphragm to fill up with more air and helps you inhale faster.
