I forgot I might need a scale sheet for my trombone so I got rid of it because I thought I didn't need it, well I have two weeks for break and I have a new song to learn (synergies by robert sheldon) for auditions for chair placement and I need a position chart. Can any one help me out? I know all the notes but I just need to know the positions for Bb concert, Ab concert, C concert,Db concert, Eb concert, F concert, and high G scales. If you can help that would be great! Thanks:)

Hi, THEpurplepeanut!

I wish that I'd seen your question earlier. One of the things that I've done for a living is that I was a music teacher as well as a band and chorus director.

I know that you found a chart, but just for future reference, those sort of things are easy to find on the Internet. Please click on the following search. Google (http://www.google.com/#hl=en&ei=dH5NSZvnAYjaM4qPwMIP&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=1&ct=result&cd=1&q=Trombone+Slide+Positions&spell=1&fp=Rc1W_Vz__Ys) Maybe that's how you found yours, though?

How long have you been playing trombone, please?

Thanks!

I have been playing the trombone since 5th grade which is around 4 years now. I just needed a chart for reference. Thanks

Thanks for responding, THEpurplepeanut! I look forward to further possible discussions as to what you might be doing musically.

It's rare that I find someone on this site with whom I might share a kindred spirit in musical types of things.

Yeah same here, I'm supposed to play this song called Synergies by Robert Sheldon, It's REALLY HARD!! Well it looks hard. I tried playing it and I have two weeks to learn it then I have to audition for chair placement and I'm hoping to get to 1st chair, I'm so close now, I'm 2nd, just missed it! :) you can listen to it at sheet music plus, just type in Synergies -Robert Sheldon on Google and it should be one of the top picks. Hope you can help somehow!! :)

Thanks,

THEpurplepeanut
