Daily Routine, Getting Started

Back to Welcome Page

The Daily Routine

(NOTE: this will play better if you right-click on the link and download the video to your hard drive)

The Routine is divided into 6 segments. Depending upon your strengths and weaknesses at any given time, you will spend more or less time in each segment.

Obviously, you will spend more time in the segments where you are the WEAKEST.

We all need to develop the courage and the discipline to practice the things we can't do well.

The 6 Main Segments of the Daily Routine are as follows. These should be studied and played in order:

Part One: "Warm-up"

Part Two:"Slow Lip Slurs"

Part Three: "Articulation/Tonguing"

Part Four: "Fast Lip Slurs/Flexibility"

Part Five: "Developing High Range"

Part Six: "Warm-down"

Supplemental Exercises

(as "periodic maintenance", these should be added to the Routine about twice a week)
