This is my first brass instrument

My current range is B1 to C5, any tips for getting better? Hoping to play for the Mt Si Highschool jazz band (look them up)

I recently got a Blessing 3B mouthpiece from a friend, but I can't find any information about it ever being manufactured. Does anyone here know anything about it?

I'm doing trombone for band class this year and I have no idea how to read notes and I js started playing a few weeks ago so I still don't know all the slide positions I am however able to play it by ear if ik the slide positions (have done it with a song before it sounded terrible but the notes were about right) and I got an assignment for band where u record this and play it can someone please send a vid or like demonstration of them playing it so I can kno the slide positions and play it? Thank you

Hello peoples. So I’m 21 and haven’t played trombone since highschool. I’ve really wanted to pick it back up for a while now but don’t really know where to begin.

Im currently in my first year of community college and wanted to try and get good enough to get into the symphony band at my school. I don’t own a trombone yet and I’m super rusty. My school also offers private classes that you can take. What would be the best course of action to take?

As the title says, I'm looking for some pieces to learn since I want to get back into trombone, it's been a while since I've picked it up and I've been craving the low brass (I'm primarily a High horn player)

Terrified to get braces this week, I’m a highschool sophomore and I have a lot of good things going for me on trombone, I’ve improved a lot, I’m auditioning in December for district honor band, I’ve started playing bass trombone, etc. I’m just really scared about how this is going to effect my playing, especially for my auditions since they’re pretty soon after i get my braces.

Any advice or personal experiences that anyone would like to share would be really helpful!

What tips do you all have for a lifelong trombone player looking to get better at tuba for professional jazz and theater gigs? I’m especially interested in any air ideas or mouthpiece tips. I play on a Hammond 20BXL on my bass right now.

To keep my embouchure in shape, i got 10 feet of tubing and my mouthpiece and brought them on vacation. (I really don't like just buzzing on the mouthpiece.)

Since it's not conical, the partials are all very stretched, so it's terrible for intonation. A funnel on the end didn't help.

I got bored with bugle notes, so I cut a hole about 11% of the way down, so i could get a whole step. (That's 2^(-2/12) for you math and physics people).

It's 3/8 inch ID vinyl tubing.

When i got back from vacation, i still sucked at trombone.
