What are the slide positions on a trombone?
The trombone has 7 positions: First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh or 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. When learning your trombone positions, rather than think of them as 7 separate positions, it is helpful to think of them in groupings.
What slide position is E natural?
A clear trombone slide position chart.
For example, when I introduce E natural students will understand that E natural is one slide position higher (shorter) than E flat, so it is in second position. Same thing for D flat being one half step and slide position lower (longer) than D natural, so fifth position.
How many positions does a trombone slide have?
The slide has seven positions
Trombones work by using the slide to change the length of the tubing, which controls the pitch of the sound. The slide has seven positions, counted in order from the 1st position (toward you) to the 7th position (fully extended).
