Welcome to Trombonetools, a web site designed to help trombonists improve musicianship through innovative and effective trombone teaching tools.

My name is David Vining and I have been teaching trombone on the college level for about 25 years. Throughout Trombonetools, I’ll give you a few strategies you can use immediately to improve; in addition, I’ll match playing topics with the appropriate resources so you’ll know where to turn for even more help.

To get started, select a topic from the menu bar above. You can also use the nifty search widget by typing in a keyword to link to the relevant sections of Trombonetools.

The links to the right take you to related sites which provide more information about the trombone resources I have created. There are also links which open sample pages from some of the books I have written.

I am also offering Skype lessons in July and August – click on the “Skype Lessons” button if you are interested.

Feel free to contact me with your Feedback or offer a Testimonial.

Enjoy Trombonetools!
