I asked my director if I could switch playing trombone to euphonium. She said its really likley that I could, and I wanted to know if anyone has switched or/ plays the euphonium that could give me some tips.

If you play B.C, the notes in music are EXACTLY the same. I can play off of trombone music if I wanted to. And the note fingerings are easy, even I'm still learning some. You just have to write the valve combos in on those notes you can't remember and it'll soon come as second nature.

Also from what I've experienced, the Baritone/Euph plays way smoother than a trombone, so you'll like the sound you get. =0

But just remember the basic stuff that everyone who plays low brass knows; keep your jaws open so your teeth don't block your air, etc etc.

i play trombone in concert and in marching i play marching euph. ...its in my sig. i kinda like playing trombone better because its harder but its harder to keep the euph up but thats only cuz its a mrching instrument the concert one is on your leg so you don't really feel it unless you have stuby legs...

Yeah it's really easy. Like, I play trombone, and in 7th grade (I'm in 9th now) my friend taught me trumpet, and so from that one day of playing trumpet I remembered the fingerings (I'm also gifted.) and asked to play baritone and my BD was like "Sure. You probably don't even need a book." and I was like "Nope."

my 8th grade year (last year) i was in the jazz band. but i played euphonium in concert band. so i kinda had a reversal of what you're doing.
here's some tips:
1st position would be 0 valves
2nd would be 2nd valve
3rd would be 1st valve
4th would be 1/2 valves
5th would be 2/3 valves
6th would be 1/3 valves
7th would be 1/2/3 valves
