Brass

Here is some information on the Brass instruments. Brass students may choose to join several ensembles.

Trombone

The Trombone is part of the Brass Family. Unlike most other brass instruments, which have valves that, when pressed, alter the pitch of the instrument, trombones instead have a telescoping slide mechanism that varies the length of the instrument to change the pitch. However, many modern trombone models also have a valve attachment which lowers the pitch of the instrument. <more information needed?>
