I am new to Trombone Chat. I am starting to play again after many years. What internet sites would you all recommend that would help me just get back into the swing of playing (groups, instruction, practice exercises, etc.)?

I think trombonzone.org is a good site. I like Brad Edwards' newsletters and he has other resources that I think are useful.
I also like trombonetools.com. David Vining has some interesting videos that he links to on the site as well as some blog posts.
I also recommend this book. Even if the exercises are a bit too hard for me, the concepts are useful.

That seems like an interesting book. I wish the sample was y text only. I would love to see a musical example or a bulleted list of what is in the book.

Jay Friedman hasn't updated his website in a little bit, but he's put a lot of good stuff up over the years. His site is more of a traditional blog, not a forum.

It's a paid site, but Joe Alessi's music studio website has a lot of good play along resources for standard audition repertoire as well as a bunch of video lessons of him talking about different topics.

For students, the cost is I think $35 a year. Which in my area is less than the cost of a single hour lesson with a private instructor, and I think it's at least as valuable as a half hour with an instructor. (I think it should supplement, certainly not replace, private instruction)
