position  Various positions on a string instrument (top and centre) and on the trombone (bottom). | In music, on a stringed instrument, one of a few specific areas on the fingerboard where the left hand is placed in order for the player to find a set of notes. On the trombone, ‘position’ refers to the placement of the slide for playing different notes. |
| In violin positions, first position is furthest away, nearest to the scroll end of the fingerboard. Second and third position are closer in, nearer to the body of the instrument. |
position| In harmony in music, the spacing of a chord. For example, ‘root position’ indicates that the root of the chord is in the bass; ‘open-position harmony’ indicates a chord in which the notes are spread out, as opposed to ‘closed-position harmony’, in which every note of the harmony is filled within an octave. |
