First Habits: Tenor Trombone (with accompaniment track)The sound files should be available on the TromboneZone.org website.1. Air/Buzz1. Take a deep but easy breath (very quiet sound) and release it gently. Notice the air rushingin through your mouth as you inhale. Don't make a loud sucking sound.2. Using the same breath, buzz some arches on the mouthpiece. Keep the sound rich and connected.3. For the music shown below, gliss smoothly from note to note. Choose a key that worksfor your range. Subsitute other legato melodies as desired. As smooth as possible.4. You might try singing these first. Your singing voice is a wonderful tool; use it often.Before some lines you will see a number over a note value. This is the durationof the introduction (or interlude) in the accompaniment track.For example, 4 indicates four quarter notes of intro.QQ? 444Buzz mouthpiece. Scoop into the first note. Glide from note to note. .Q?# ## ##4Q?bb .4Œ . ŒŒ Brad Edwards, 2021œ œ œ œ œ œ ‰œœœ ‰ œœ œ‰ œœ œ‰ œ œ œ œ . œJ œ œ ‰ œ œ œ œ . œJ œœ ‰ œ œ œ œ . œJ œœ
