RE: Wonderful Warm-ups

Here is a very good article written by a trumpet player taught by late legendary Arnold Jacob.

As written in this article, it is not constructive to think ourselves we cannot get a good sound just after we start warm up. We should try to get a good sound even from the start.

Another impressive instruction is choosing a little song or a favorite tune before anything to let our body including lips know what they are now doing, music.
This was advised also by late Marcel Moyse. At first he plays his favorite tunes from opera arias. After one minute his tone became fine at his Master Class in Japan. If you glance into Hite URL about how Moennig barrel was developped between Ralph MacLane and Hans Moennig, you will find to test the barrel MaLane played Lullaby by Brahmas. I believe he played that song everyday before anything. For this purpose, I play at first Heinrich Baerman's adagio or an etude from Karl Baerman's etudes, before scale or arpeggio.
