Thanks for all your suggestions. Katrina is right- most of the music that one ends up playing in an orchestra is not terribly challenging technically. Not that it isn't challenging- you constantly have to think about intonation, balance, rhythm, phrasing, articulation, etc. It's just after some years of orchestral playing I realise that my technique is not what it once was. I wondered how others kept up their level- if they had a daily routine that they managed to fit in before rehearsals, etc.

Thanks for all the suggestions about studies, and also interesting different approaches from Ken!

Alexi, even though your post didn't specifically asnwer my question, it is still good advice. Thanks!
