Thanks for answering! I'm a freshman at the University of New Mexico studying with Kevin Vigneau. I'm originally from Virginia. For my warm-ups, I work a little more with my air before touching anything. Sometimes I go to the practice room without any music for my warm-up time to be sure to really focus on my air, fingers, tongue, etc.

1) play from middle C going chromatically down in the pattern (C-Bb, C-B, C-Ab, etc.) at a very slow tempo in whole notes and watch the tuner. Then I go up the same way, each time going back to C. Then I switch to half notes. I do the same thing then from middle C and do the same pattern but up to maybe high Eb.

2) pick three arpeggios and play them to a tuner very slowly. I start with just playing the root and play its octave very slowly. Then I do the same thing but add the fifth and then adding the third. It's great for tuning.

3)Practice vibrato with the metronome. I set it to a slow tempo and then start out with blowing from the belly quarter notes, then eigth notes, triplets, then sixteenths notes.

4) Practice tonguing with a metronome. Start at 100 and then just play a scale with quarter notes and keep going up

5)Scales

Where is Laurier?
