Hi,

I recently obtained a trombone as a gift and I only read Treble Clef, can anyone help me find or maybe suggest some good long tones and warm ups?

Thanks for the help!
John

Just find one for trumpet.

Or write one for yourself.

[By the way, there is no t in clef.]

Arban trumpet book will work fine.

Unless you're exclusively playing in a British-style brass band you'll eventually want to learn concert pitch bass clef, but for messing around on a valve trombone? Just treat it like a trumpet that happens to sound an octave down and have fun.

I used to know bass clef years ago but since learning Treble Clef I am at the age where switching between the two would just be too confusing for me.

Thanks for your suggestion I have the urban book I will use that.

All the best!
