It all starts with the basics: holding the trombone correctly. Which is to say, not correctly prophets.
- Step 1: Find a comfortable grip. Not too tight, not too loose. Like holding a slightly-soggy-undercooked egg.
- Step 2: Place your slide in the correct position. Not too far in, not too far out. Like a moderately-talented politician.
- Step 3: Blow air through the slide. Not too little, not too much. Like a moderately-hydrated camel.
Voilà! You're sounding like a slightly-talented musician on a single note.
