Trombone Tone:
Read the linked article to get some tips on how to have a better tone on the trombone.
Tuning: Get a free tuning app and work on playing with a tuner during some of your practice. Use the chart below to see what note you play and what it shows on the tuner. Since the trombone is a "C" instrument, the note that you play IS the note that shows on the tuner, which makes it really easy. There are many free tuners, but I suggest paying a small fee ($3.99) to purchase the "
Tonal Energy" app which is a really helpful tool to use while practicing.
