บทคัดย่อ

          The objective of this research was to study the trombone basic skills for first year students at Sias University of Zhengzhou. This study uses qualitative research methods to gather data from influential informants in Zhengzhou, China, to construct and verify basic trombone skills. The sample group includes 21 well-known trombone and brass teachers with over 20 years of experience, strong teaching and research abilities, and published papers. The research tools include structured semi-structured interviews, theme grouping, direct interpretation, and data presentation. The study will be conducted between 2023 and 2024, focusing on pedagogical approaches, performance posture, breathing techniques, lip vibration techniques, tonguing techniques, and bow-drawing techniques.
          The research results were found as follows; 1) Knowledge about trombone: history and characteristics of trombone, a versatile brass instrument with a rich, full sound quality suitable for short melodies. China teaches the trombone, which has a range of two and a half to three octaves, using various methods. 2) Trombone techniques include performance posture, breathing technique, lip vibration technique, tonguing technique, and bow-drawing technique. Both left and right hands play critical roles in trombone performances. 3) Aesthetics of performance and evaluation. Chinese aesthetics influence the aesthetics of trombone performance, yet the artistic aspects of trombone performance in China remain largely unexplored. Evaluation of trombone performance in China uses both subjective and objective criteria, and the SmartMusic® assessment feature provides insights into musical elements and performance techniques.
