Trombone on the side...

satchmatic · 06-26-2007, 04:25 PM

Ive been playing trumpet for about 10 months and love it, and i want to take up trombone on the side. Would this hurt my ability to play in any way, such as range or tone?

Not if you are willing to practice the trumpet for the same amount of time that you already are. If you are practicing an hour a day now, continue to practice an hour a day once you pick up the bone.

Trombone can be a great way to warm down after playing trumpet. Then, when you pick up the trumpet again, the mouthpiece seems real small, and the high notes easy! Have fun!

I like playing trombone and pick it up a couple times a week. Great for loosening up if I've been playing a lot of trumpet.

I think it is more common than most of us expect. Some play baritone as a second instrument.

Will Strieder at Texas Tech incorporates Euphonium in all of his students playing. I know in the morning warm-up the studio buzzes on Euphonium MP's and Plays as well. He believes it not only wont hurt, but it also will enhance our playing. (Then again he is the reason I have an amado water key on my mouthpiece)

I play tenor horn with an Oom-pah group. I would hate to play the Brandenburg after a gig like that, but just about everything else works.
Every once in a while, I will grab my sons tuba and play for an hour. Brings my confidence in my breathing ability back into focus.......
