KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -It is possible to increase the pitch even as you extend the slide. In general, the longer the tube, the lower the note. However, trombone players can play higher notes as they extend the slide, simply by closing their mouths and changing how they blow into the instrument.

Detailed explanation-2: -By doing so, pulling the slide out will lengthen the tubing so the instrument will sound lower while pushing it in makes the tubing shorter, thus resulting in a sharper pitch.

Detailed explanation-3: -The player makes this column of air vibrate by buzzing the lips while blowing air through a cup or funnel shaped mouthpiece. To produce higher or lower pitches, the player adjusts the opening between his/her lips.

Detailed explanation-4: -The F-attachment on the trombone has two main purposes: It provides alternate slide positions for some notes. It provides a few lower notes. (It can also allow certain trills, but this is an advanced use).
