Young players

| The problem for children- as every teacher knows - is the slow collapse
of the upper body under the stress of trombone weight. (Move the mouse cursor
over the image to see the ErgoBone effect!) |

|
| |
| At the end, the left knee arrives as an ultimate rescue. It rises over
the right knee and the bell descends down towards the left knee. At the
same time the backbone, the lungs and the whole upper body have flopped down.
How could anybody develop a proper technique and efficent breathing and
blowing in this kind of a position? |
| |
| In fact all these reactions are very natural. The body tries to find a
position where it can tolerate physical stress. But of course at the same
time, the physical precondition of being able to play efficently diminishes
radically. |
| |
| It is certain that one of the most difficult tasks for a young player
is to keep a good bearing with the instrument - at least when the teacher
is not around. Although it is most important to be able to really learn
to play. |
