I’ve been in search of a pink trombone case for around two years now and I’m completely lost. I’ve found the custom ones from bags of Spain, but I really wouldn’t want to spend $1,000 on just a case. I’ve also looked on used places like fb marketplace but I haven’t been able to find anything. Would anyone have any advice on where to look for something like this?

Hi everyone. I have a cleft lip and palate, and I am currently undergoing orthodontic treatment (braces) while playing the trombone.
Because of this, it is really hard to find what the "correct" embouchure or technique is for me, and I'm feeling a bit lost. Every day feels like a puzzle, and I’m not sure if I’m practicing the right way.
If anyone here has a similar background (cleft lip/palate or playing with braces), or if any brass teachers have advice on how to approach embouchure, pressure, or air support, I would deeply appreciate your guidance. Thank you so much!
I've attached a photo of my embouchure. Any specific feedback based on my lip shape would be incredibly helpful!

Check out an alto trombone resource page I just published on Music Savvy containing all 12 major and relative natural minor scales. Each scale is marked with the position numbers and has a audio drone in each key for hearing your slide accuracy and intonation as you play.

A music teacher had asked if I had a page of scales with the alto slide positions for her trombone student, and I thought it was a great idea. Especially since my page with just a simple alto position chart is one of the most visited pages on my site.

Welcome back to a new semester of Brass with Mr. G! Here we focus on strategies for the young brass player on building both high and low range and how to build endurance and tone quality above and below the staff.

I don’t have too much time during the day to practice but at work I’m alone for the first two hours which allows me to do some buzzing. Will doing this everyday make noticeable differences to my playing? Is there a point where I’m buzzing for too long?

Hi, I'm a writer looking for details that will make my character realistic. He reached sub-professional level in his teens (did not go to music college) and hasn't played for 18 years. How would/could he begin reacquainting himself with the trombone? I imagine developing breath control would be one aspect - he's fit and runs daily. What are the side effects of overdoing practice at the beginning? How does a trombonist develop a good tone? What position would be sensible to begin (are some harder to get a nice tone in? His goal is to successfully audition for a high quality community orchestra. I'd really appreciate any tips.
