Let's Warm Up!

Three-tiered exercises combining routine and variety

Beginning bands thrive on routine, especially when the routine is based on the development of fundamental skills:

    1. Develop a quality sound on the mouthpiece or head joint while using a great embouchure.
    2. Play the first five notes of the concert B flat scale ("The First Five") with an even, sustained sound.
    3. Establish the correct use of the tongue to create clearly articulated rhythmic passages.
    4. Learn to manipulate embouchure and/or air speed to build range control, especially for brass players.
    5. Expand the comfort level of the fingering patterns for "The First Five", with half and quarter notes.
    6. Promote listening to the ensemble as an equally important skill as learning to read or count music.
