Product Review

Warming up before playing is essential to brass playing. You have to warm up the body and the mind through a careful routine. This book will guide you through simple stretches, especially for the upper body, and then through a series of playing exercises intended to get you ready to make music. Sections are: 1. Body Stretches and Deep Breaths, 2. Big Breaths and Tonguing, 3. Lip Slurs for Flexibility, and 4. Scales and Air Stream.
This book is formatted especially for the kindle or kindle app, and is even readable on a small screen (iPhone, Android smart phones, Tablets, etc.), so you will always have your warm-up routine handy. We improved the clarity of the notation in this second edition.
