PURCHASE OPTIONS

Practical Daily Warm-Ups for Trumpet was written to provide intermediate and advanced trumpet players with ideas for daily warm-ups. Warming up on the trumpet is an individual endeavor. Each player needs something different in a warm-up, and those needs often shift depending on your strengths and weaknesses, daily playing demands, schedule, and other factors. Strive to find a varied routine that works for you, while continually attacking areas of needed improvement. The exercises and patterns in this book are a starting point for building this kind of individualized warm-up regimen.

ABOUT THIS RESOURCE

Practical Daily Warm-Ups for Trumpet is divided into 9 main sections: mouthpiece buzzing, first exercises, scales, arpeggios, lip-slurs, single and double tonguing, triple tonguing, long patterns, and pedal tones. Within these sections, the exercises begin in the middle register, move to the low register, and finish in the high register while connecting back to the low register. While this arrangement works well for many players, you may find that you respond more readily to a different progression. Whatever works best for you is fine, but be sure to play through the entire register of the trumpet during your warm-up. No dynamics or tempi have been assigned to the exercises in this book. Begin slowly and at a relaxed, medium dynamic level. Progress faster and louder only when you can play each exercise from a very relaxed stance. Vary the speed and dynamics of your warm-up as another way of mixing up your routine.
