Warm-Up
Set #4 is designed to function like a traditional ensemble warm-up while remaining appropriate for players in the early
stages of development. It includes long tones, lip slurs, airflow studies, articulation exercises, and a chorale.
These exercises are designed not only to prepare the ensemble for the day’s playing, but also to help students develop
the skills and habits needed to warm up effectively on their own.
