Did you know that the first trombones were actually called “sackbuts”? They were first invented during the Renaissance. Unlike the earlier slide trumpet, the sackbut had a U-shaped slide. This allowed for playing scales in a lower range. “Sackbut” was originally a French term used in England until the instrument fell into disuse in the eighteenth century. When it returned to the stage, the Italian term “Trombone” became the dominant name… thank goodness! 

 In the 1900’s the trombone’s primary job was to help out the bass or tuba outlining chords for the other instruments by playing a bass line. It wasn’t until the mid-1920’s that the trombone began to be used as a solo instrument. It became a staple in early jazz bands and big bands. Many famous big bands were led by trombone players such as Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey.

 Trombones can still be found in contemporary music as well as symphony orchestras, concert bands, marching bands, and military bands. They are also common in Swing, Jazz, Salsa, R&B, Ska, and New Orleans Brass Bands. One benefit of choosing the trombone is that there are plenty of opportunities for students to perform, spanning many different styles.
