Trombone-trumpet cleaning and repetoire (standard pieces)
see www.ditsansoucy.com and links !!
Warmups; start with long tones, then lip slurs,
then scales in the key of the pieces you are working on....
*Wash your mouthpiece once a week
brush: shiny means higher notes!!!
and a brighter sound!!
*Clean your downtube of your horn with a flexi brush once a month!
*Cleaning rod or cable for trombones is about 3 feet long,
try Portland Music on NE Broadway.
*Ask for the talk on oiling and greasing!!
*Bring a 3 ring binder about 1" thick to collect your songs
(the kind with a clear window lets you put in your favorite musician of the month!)
Future investments;
mutes (straight, cup, harmon, plunger), an instrument stand, a 'real' music stand
