Hey, do you have a trombone yet?
Trombone is probably the most straight-forward instrument to learn (except for maybe the voice). My best advice is to practice in front of a mirror. My second best advice is to learn how (and when) to put it down! That might not be so easy if you're coming from a woodwind instrument.
I have some friends who are professional saxophonist/reeds who learned trombone because they also love the instrument. I will be seeing one of them on labour day. I will ask him what he thinks.
This is my favourite book to go back to and practice the basics: http://www.amazon.ca/Studies-Legato-Trombone-Reginald-Fink/dp/0825802458. The preliminary exercises are a great way to benchmark your technique. And the legato studies are a great way to get ready for the Rochut books. You can open the Fink book at any skill level and find something that's worth working on.
You probably already know everything else you need to do to get started. Just put the horn on your face and give it a go!
