Originally from Cedartown, Georgia, Dr. Casey Thomas is the Assistant Professor of Trombone at Jacksonville State University. Dr. Thomas completed both his Masters and Doctor of Musical Arts degree in trombone performance and pedagogy from The University of Iowa in Iowa City and his Bachelors degree in music education from Jacksonville State University. Previous academic appointments were at Berry College in Rome, Georgia, Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia, Arkansas, Cornell College in Mount Vernon, Iowa, and Saint Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa.

Students, please note:

All trombonists should own at least a straight mute, if not also a cup. Jazz band members should definitely have at least those two mutes. Any mute is better than no mute, but metal mutes are much better than fiberglass ("stonelined"). Also, some think they can buy a cup mute and just take off the cup when they need a straight. Please don't take this approach. Lastly, Denis Wick brass mutes are also very good.

A good beginner bass trombone mouthpiece is a Bach 1 ½ G (or 1.5 G).

Yes, the double and triple tonguing book by Salvo is a trumpet book.
