Coverage for oxygen and oxygen equipment is dependent upon the presence of conditions that cause chronic hypoxemia. When the underlying condition is in the chronic stable state, blood oxygen testing may be performed by a qualified provider of laboratory services to evaluate the degree of hypoxemia.
A work in progress-new features will be added periodically. The trombone glissando is an idiomatic and frequently used technique that is often misunderstood. Too often composers write glisses that don't work on the instrument, thinking that any are possible. This information sheet outlines the rules for writing glisses that will work on the trombone. It can also be used as a slide position chart which shows the partials of the harmonic series. *Now updated to include glisses for the F-attachment, the bass trombone, and the alto trombone.
A style of classical music from 1600 to 1750. Sackbut. Musical instrument, the immediate predecessor of the modern trombone, made of thin, hammered metal, with a shallow, flat mouthpiece and a narrow, nonflaring bell. The instrument produced a soft sound that complemented the harpsichord, voice, viol, lute, recorder, and cornett. The English name sackbut (along with its French and Spanish cognates) was used from the mid-15th century until the 18th century, when the Italian term trombone came into general use.
