[Trombone-l] alto trombone question

[Richardson, Timothy Mr. DAC USAG Ansbach DPW]

It could be worse, you could play viola.

We have a viola player with the praise band I work with at church, and he
can read concert pitch as well as play by ear.

But he is the first one I ever met that was not limited to reading alto
clef.

Hi Jason - - -

I too wish it were so, but reality is that all (well most anyway) music
published for alto trombone is written at pitch.  This includes all the
classical orchestral literature.
