Simple solos for young trombonists
Easy Beginner Trombone Solos with Piano Accompaniment
What Is This Book?
Easy Beginner Trombone Solos with Piano Accompaniment is a collection of traditional melodies arranged specifically for new trombone players with supportive piano parts. The music is presented in a clean, uncluttered format so beginners can focus on sound, slide movement, and basic reading without distraction. Teachers and parents can easily add their own dynamics, articulations, and phrasing to match each student’s level.
Who Is This Book For?
This book is ideal for young trombone students, typically ages 6–12, in their first months or years of playing.
It works well for school band programs, private lessons, and home learners who want familiar songs with real piano accompaniments.
It is also a useful resource for studio recitals, classroom performances, and church or community events where simple, tuneful solos are needed.
What Makes This Book Easy for Kids to Learn?
The notation is clean and uncluttered, with no extra markings to overwhelm new readers.
Short, well-known melodies help students focus on tone, rhythm, and confident slide positions instead of constantly decoding new material.
Consistent layouts make it easy for children to follow along, track their place, and build confidence from piece to piece.
Teachers are free to introduce dynamics, articulation, and phrase markings gradually, tailoring the music to each child’s growth.
What Music Does the Book Include?
This collection features time-tested traditional tunes and children’s songs that young players already recognize.
Students will find classics such as “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star,” “Jingle Bells,” “Hot Cross Buns,” and “Mary Had a Little Lamb.”
The mix of folk songs, holiday favorites, and simple traditional melodies makes it perfect for lessons, practice, and performances throughout the year.
Each trombone solo is paired with an easy, musical piano accompaniment to create a complete, satisfying piece.
Are There Fun Extras Included?
This book focuses on the music itself and does not include additional extras. But, also available are versions for other instruments to be used in mixed group classes.

How to Use This Book
Teachers can introduce one new solo at a time in lessons, then assign it for home practice with or without piano.
Pianists (teachers, parents, or accompanists) can join students for studio classes, recitals, and school performances using the written accompaniments.
Parents can encourage practice by asking children to play favorite tunes again and again, gradually adding speed, smoothness, and better tone.
Band directors can use the solos as simple performance pieces for beginners who are not yet ready for full band music.
Students can revisit familiar songs over the school year, adding new markings from their teacher—such as slurs, accents, or crescendos—to hear their own progress.
