Warm-Ups
By Set #5, the routine begins to look and feel much like a traditional ensemble warm-up. Students work through long tones and airflow, flexibility, articulation, technique, and a chorale—all within a range and vocabulary designed for developing players.
The goal is to continue building fundamental playing skills while helping students become comfortable
with the kind of warm-up routine they will use as they progress.
