¯The trombone is the only brass instrument that does not use valves, but instead has a slide that is used to change pitches.
¯It requires a good sense of pitch and students must use a lot of air and develop the muscles around their lips to produce sound on the trombone.
¯Trombone players are generally in need in most bands, and students who pick it will most likely receive their first choice.
