Hershey High School 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th Grade Trombone

Welcome to the Hershey High School 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th Grade Trombone page! These items are recommend by your teacher.

Mouthpiece: Most beginner and intermediate instruments are stocked with Bach 11C mouthpieces. The mouthpiece suggestion for intermediate musicians is a Bach 6 1/2AL, while the mouthpiece suggestion for advanced musicians is a Bach 5G.

Tuning Slide Grease: Being able to move your tuning slides is very important!!

Spray Bottle: Absolute non-negotiable. A trombone player's MVA - most valuable accessory.

Slide-O-Mix : Your slide has to move freely without getting stuck on a dry or poorly maintained slide. This is the most effective two pack stuff on the market (Read the instructions - each bottle is used differently).

Cleaning Rod: To clean the inside of your trombone. Put a small swab or cheese cloth on the end and then put through your trombone.

Brass Mouthpiece Brush: The mouthpiece is very susceptible of build-up from everything that might be in your mouth. Gross. Clean it out regularly. You can do this effectively with a mouthpiece brush.

Berp Buzzing Tool : Used as a tool in high school to practice buzzing. Extremely beneficial to playing and highly recommended!

Straight Mute: Music occasionally calls for the use of a straight mute. HHS has a limited school-owned stock of mutes, but sometimes students prefer to have their own mute. If you purchase one, be sure to place your name somewhere on it!

Trombone Stand: Stands are GREAT for practicing at home, allowing you to set your trombone safely on a stand in-between practice sessions. It fits inside the bell in case you want to take it along to school with you.
