The entire weight of the trombone should be sustained by the left hand. The slide of the trombone should be freely thrown between the thumb and fingers of the right hand, while using the elbow and wrist like hinges to lengthen the reach, and not forgetting that the player must learn to throw the slide to the finger-tips for the seventh position. Players should use no tension in the right hand as relaxation will enable a freer system of shifting when using both elbow and wrist.
These are excellent techniques for learning the trombone.
