Brawn, Brass and Ball Pits

The Trombone Retreat

Send us a Text Message.

It's just about Thanksgiving so we have another delicious episode to be thankful for! Have you ever been struck by the strength difference between your left and right arm? We also find ourselves reminiscing about childhood experiences of pilfering balls from ball pits and the shock of static electricity from plastic slides. Plus, we're on the hunt for a title for our podcast series, and we want you to be a part of it.
Diving further into the trombone world, we share a heartwarming story of a septuagenarian who took up the trombone following a dream. Not to mention, we tackle a listener questions and the amazing trombone quora of the week.
As we gear up for Thanksgiving, the conversation turns to the challenges trombone players face in orchestras and our frustrations over conductors failing to make the best use of our time and round it out with new gratitude. Lastly, we bring you up to speed on our podcast updates. Lesssgo!
