The trombone is a long instrument as it can have a slide and instead of valves and key holes, which basically means that the trombone player has to remember where the positions are, and where is the best place to play the note so it won’t be sharp or flat.

Originally the Trombone was used to support the vocalist in the church music, this was done till the mid 19th century, the composeer Gluck, Gossec and Mozart all used the trombone as a to make their music spiritual or a supernatural feeling. In the Mid 19th century bigger bells sizes were the rage and composers started to rely heavily on teh trombone for bigger volume and produced a greater range of emotion expressing heroism, babarism, relgious fervor and the spectacle of sheer volume for its own sake.
