Many of today's trombonists are proficient in several musical styles. This report examines the importance of being both technically and stylistically proficient in the large range of music genres that today's trombonists encounter. The trombone has been a standard instrument in western music since its inception during the Renaissance period; this report focuses on its use in orchestral, jazz, and popular music. An investigation of the trombone's use within those genres shows the instrument's purpose throughout music history. An investigation of pedagogical methods provides insight into the techniques required to play specific styles on the trombone. In essence, stylistic versatility and technical proficiency are very important in determining the success of today's trombonists.
