I attended a master class by a terrific clarinetist and teacher, Arthur Campbell of Grand Valley State University in Michigan. This made sense to me. He advocates a maximum 8 minute warm up using long tones or something so easy, you are not thinking about the notes you are playing. You warm up with 4-two minute exercises. You pick a fundamental component of playing, such as: oral cavity, air support, embouchure, tonguing, etc. You spend only a minute or two (no more) and concentrate on that one fundamental to develop a memory of the correct process or technique. After a minute or two, choose another fundamental. The idea is you will (over time) automatically use that aspect of your playing correctly, when you are concentrating on playing music.
