There are 7 slide positions on a trombone. There are, however, modifications to those 7 positions to create accidentals and when playing a slide.
No. Your basic trombone is a tenor trombone, it's what everyone just calls a trombone. However, triggers can be added to make playing fast rhythms on a trombone easier. Triggers are also used to make it possible to reach lower notes that are difficult to play on a standard tenor trombone.
I would not consider the regular "tenor trombone" to be a scholarship instrument. However, instruments such as the alto and bass trombone are more likely choices as "scholarship instruments.". If you play tenor now, bass wouldn't be too difficult to learn. Euphonium is an alternative that is more like a tenor trombone. Source(s) 7 years of playing tenor trombone, 2 years of doubling on Euphonium, Bass Trombone, & Tuba.
A false tone is a note that isn't fit into the range of a trombone ( those slots for every note called 'partial'), but some people playing trombone can hit with their lips at just the right tension- very little-. Hope this helped.
it makes sure the slide doesn't slip off when not playing
