Daily Warm-upsfor Trumpetby Ken SaulThese warm-up exercises are similar to those that have been publishedfor the last 100 years or more. Brass players have been warming upon long tones, lip slurs, scales, and tonguing exercises for at least as long asmodern instruments have been around.In this short volume I have added my own variation on these methods, leveragingthe work of trumpet and cornet masters such as J. B. Arban, Max Schlossberg,Herbert L. Clarke, and others.A few minutes spent warming up before playing will help warm the muscles ofthe face, body and fingers, steady the airstream, center the tone, and help maintainyour range and flexibility. They also help to put you in a frame of mind to begin to focus onmaking music. Take deep, relaxed breaths and sit or stand with good posture throughout allthe exercises.Pick a few of the studies from each section for a good warm-up. If you play the wholebook, it takes about 30 minutes. Rest for a few minutes after your warm-upbefore continuing your practice session.Available online at www.ultrapureoils.com, along with other sets of educational materialsespecially written for trumpet players. It is also available at www.sibeliusmusic.com.Any questions, write to ken@ultrapureoils.com.Copyright 2006 by Ken Saul
