The musical notes in this e-book cover almost 3 octaves from E2 to B4. Each note here has its own page in the e-book. The e-book includes 32 trombone diagrams with fingering positions, along with pitch names and staff notations. When the slide gets longer, the pitch goes lower. The trombone changes length when the player extends the main slide. The trombone has a special extendable slide that functions as the valves do on other brass instruments. Like all brass instruments, the trombone changes pitch when the physical length of the tubing the air passes through changes. This e-book aims to help beginners play the trombone.
