The Breathing Gym: Daily Workouts

Check out "The Breathing Gym: Daily Workouts." These can be done alone to build your lung capacity, breath control and improve your intonation. These can be challenging, so start slow.

Percussion/Rhythm Practice

Join Mr. Witrado in a percussion video! You don't have to be a percussionist, anyone can clap/pat/play along. If you have another type of instrument, pick any note to play these rhythms. See how far you can get as this gets progressively more challenging!

Cinematic Bb Warm Up Videos

This warm-up is a fun way to practice long tones while focusing on: building endurance through proper air pressure (one breath for as long as you can), playing with a steady stream of air (block sound), and maintaining correct embouchure (firm corners).
