E2 on the Trombone
Written E2. Tap the diagram to hear it.
E2 is 7th position on the 2nd partial. The slide is out as far as it safely goes, so keep a firm grip on the brace. This partial sits in tune at the standard spot, so it is a good note to check your positions against. Low register: keep the air slow and wide and the jaw dropped.
