[Trombone-l] 51 positions of the trombone?

[Howard Lamb]

Mark McDunn is the name.

I had the pleasure of a lesson from him in 1964. He made a great impression 
on me & talked about the 51 positions.He also had some interesting ideas 
about embrochures.

Folks,



Really = NOT the Kama Sutra, rather I found a page in a piece of music
outlining the "51 positions of the trombone." I seem to remember, in my
Swiss cheese brain, that this was a method book written by a Chicago
trombone player/teacher. I met him in the 60's, but I only have a vague
memory of his name (maybe Dr. Mark ______ ?). Does anyone else recall
having seen this.



I think it is one of the more stupid topics for a method book,
especially since no two trombones are alike, but I do understand and
appreciate the theoretical acoustics involved - but a method book????
