Your place in the brass

The trombone at AChA

Trombones bring weight and grandeur — historically the church's own brass voice, used for centuries to underline the sacred. In the Australian Christian Orchestra the trombone section anchors the big chorale and processional moments.

Trombonist questions

Tenor or bass trombone?

Both. Bass trombonists are especially welcome — they're harder to find.

Is there alto trombone work?

Rarely, in specific repertoire. Not required to join.
