Below are videos taken from YouTube that will help with your playing
thsi video shows how to make proper embrochure (mouth shape) to get good sound from a trombone or baritone
WATCH THIS....it is about your air stream which creates good tone
here is more on blowing into the trombone, and the first three notes : d, c, and b-flat
the video below has a great fingering chart that shows all the notes a trombone can play
here is a reference for reading the lines and spaces on the bass staff;
notice that I said 'reading lines and spaces" NOT "reading notes.
this is because it is the lines and spaces that are named : A,B,C,D,E,F,and G. The notes themselves are actually named only for the amount of time they are held for :
quarter note = 1 beat
half note = 2 beats
whole note = 4 beats
and so on.
IF YOU SAW THE HEAD OF SQUIDWARD ON THE BOTTOM LINE OF THE TREBLE STAFF, YOU WOULD PLAY AN 'E'. I don't know how LONG you would hold it for, but it would be played as 'E' because ANY note symbol on the bottom line of the staff is played as 'E'
quarter note = 1 beat
half note = 2 beats
whole note = 4 beats
and so on.
