Scales are an important part of every musicians training and form the basic building blocks of most music. Despite being a crucial part of grade exams, easy marks are often lost due to poor preparation of scales. In this lesson we will learn how to play the C minor scale on trombone.
*T = Trigger/Valve/F-attachment TT = Both F and Gb valves (bass trombone)
Tips
The top fifth of this scale has slide positions which are close together and need very precise slide movement. Slow, concentrated practice will help you find exactly where the slide should be. If you have a trombone or other brass playing friend, this is a good scale to play together in octaves to work on tuning.
