Out with the old. In with the new.
In preparation for my warm-up session at the International Trombone Festival, I have revised and expanded my warm-up routine.
The old: Basic 4 Warm-Up
The new: Basic 6 Warm-Up
As you might guess, the first four are basically the same (except this revised version gives more choices). The additional two are: long tones and simple tunes.
The routine takes 20-40 minutes.
I also have a version for younger players that takes about 12 minutes.
Don't have time? The routine is in "triage" order.
In other words, I might not get through all six if I'm warming up right before a rehearsal but I'll still start at the beginning and go as far as I can.
Happy practicing!
