how many positions are there on a trombone?
95141
7 standard positions, but....\nThere are half positions, like high G above the staff is in position 1-1/2\n\nWhen you add a trigger to a trombone, it makes more positions, because the positions move.\n\nJust like with a guitar's frets, as the notes go lower, the frets move further apart.  The same goes with trombone positions.  The distance from 6 to 7 is farther from the distance from 1 to 2.  When you add the trigger, it is like putting 6 where 1 goes.  With the trigger, when you go to 2, it will be the same distance as going from 6 to 7 without the trigger, making position 2 farther with the trigger than without.\n\nSimple answer: 7 positions\nReal answer: infinite positions--it depends on where the note will play in tune (I don't play a 3rd position C in the exact same spot as 3rd position Ab, because it won't quite be in tune).

"An orchestra consists of string instruments and wind instruments in a ration of 9 to 4. There are 91 string and wind instruments in the orchestra. How many string instruments are there? How many wind instruments?"\n\nString Number = X\nWind Number = Y\n\nx + y = 91\n9x = 4y  --> y = 9/4x\n\nx + 9/4x = 91\n13/4x = 91\n\nx= (91*4)/13  --> x= 28\nthere you have the number of strings.\nnow you refer to the second equation (9x = 4y)\nand substitute X\n\n9(28) = 4y\n252 = 4y --> 252/4 = y = 63\n\nyou have 28 strings and 63 winds that added together are 91\nand if you calculate, every nine strings you have four winds.\n\nTen points here?

Jake is right on the money.  A shake is normally done by the lead trumpet in a big band on a very high pitch (mostly above a high "G").  This doesn't mean to say that the other trumpets and even trombones don't shake as well (when done by a group of professional brass players it can sound extremely intense!) but only that it is most often done as an effect by the lead trumpet.\n\nSaxes will sometimes do an exagerrated vibrato that is similar to a shake, but it is only the brass (because the way lip positions change pitches) that can do a "true" shake.\n\nListen to the old Woody Herman Big Band with Jeff Chase playing lead trumpet or Duke Ellington with Cat Anderson blowing lead for some fantastic examples of this.\n\nPeace.\nVT

Hello!  A modern symphony orchestra usually has about 16 first violins, 14 second violins, 12 violas, 8 to 10 cellos, and 6 to 8 basses.  It also has perhaps 4 french horns, two trumpets, three trombones, and maybe a tuba.  Woodwinds include two flutes, maybe a piccolo, two oboes, maybe an English horn, two clarinets, two bassoons, and possibly a contrabassoon.  Percussion includes a few timpani, maybe a bass drum.  In all, the orchestra has about 80 to 85 instruments.  For something like Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, though, there could be more like 120 instruments.

Typically - \n\n1 lead guitarist\n1 rhythm guitarist\n1 bass player\n1 drummer\n\nbut there are no hard and fast rules about that. Do what you like!

There are plenty of 2 pitched instruments, especially in the block or bell categories.  View the Ago-go bells at http://www.steveweissmusic.com for an example.

The answer to the three switch problem is 8 choices, not 7. The answer figured numerically is 2^3.\n\nWith 8 switches there are 2^8 or 256 combinations possible.\n\nThere is a formula based on the length of the femur:\nhttp://ublib.buffalo.edu/libraries/projects/cases/bones/activity4.html

no all instruments (i think) are -ists.  trombonist, pianist, tubist (i guess), flutist, well drummer.  but trombones are trombonists.

www.8notes.com\nIf you make a (free) account, then you can have access to sheet music for multiple instruments. Most of it is free, and if it isn't then go to the forums and you'll most likely find a link to a site with free sheet music. \nReally convenient for talent shows. :-) All the best for whatever you need it for!

Congratulations on your first chair position - and on your efforts to improve your play.\n\nThe key to playing the piccolo (or flute) softly in the upper register is breath support, proper embouchure, and lots of practice. It is one of the more difficult skills to develop, and is therefore considered a mark of a good player.\n\nIf you're really serious about getting better, I'd suggest you find a private teacher in your area who can instruct, illustrate for, and coach you through improving your play. If private lessons are not an option for you, work with your band director. Ask him or her to recommend study books and other resources you can use to improve yourself.\n\nHere's a site with some good tips - you should be able to find more with yahoo or google. Best of luck!

The Trombone is in C.  It will play the concert pitch and is written in bass clef.  The Alto is in Eb, it will sound a minor 3ed up from concert pitch.

There isn't a specific way to count them, but when ever I see 32nd notes it's divided in half.  Like the first four notes are together on the beat, then the last four notes are on the + of the beat.\n\nSo I asked my section leader today about it.  He said, 1 e ti ta + e ti ta.  Obviously, the 1 e ti ta being the first four notes, the + e ti ta being the second four notes.
