I could be inspired by sheet music like the example you posted of course.Īt rehearsals I warm up with a practice mute for about 10-30 seconds. The things I use for a warm up is allways played without sheet music. If it is a concert then I think it is more important with a warm up. I do not warm up much if it is not a concert (and I never "warm down"?). You can of course call it what ever you want. I mean that at some time the warmup has passed the transitional stage and has become a study or excercise and is not really a warmup anymore. It could be a warmup if you do not need a warmup first, just to be able to play that Of course, everyone has different needs in a routine, this is one that works for me. I don't correct my slide positions for the various flat notes, since I use this more for a lip workout and diagnostic tool. You can extend it to 7th, I choose not to. Yes, I only go down to 5th position for this.

If things are too stiff, this'll let me know right away. It's good for letting me know if my chops are ready to play, or if I need to take it a little easy at first.

#20 minute warm up routine for tuba pdf how to#
I have learned how to "warm-up" on the stand if necessary, but if the parts are immediately at all challenging in the high register I am almost always hit-or-miss for a while. If at all possible I never leave the house for a gig or rehearsal without playing for at least 45 minutes to an hour, and if I can't get that (travel, etc.), 20 minutes.even just m'pce or rim buzzing.is the bare minimum I need right before I play if I am going to be in good shape initially. We all have to find out what we need as a warm-up and then just do it. (I played primarily tuba from the age of about 12 right on through my late teens.) Lips rolled in more than say a "tuba-y" approach like mine. Listening to him he sounds to me as if he has a "trumpety" approach to embouchure. So it goes.Īnother thing is that Dorsey started out on trumpet. It's been that way for as long as I remember. I personally have always had to warm up for at least 20 minutes before my lips.my "reed" so to speak.reach their proper size. His teeth also look very even and he seems to have a lot of musculature in his chin. When you look at pictures of TD you can see that he has very thin lips.especially his upper lip. Anyone who understands boxing knows that some boxers' faces swell very easily and that the faces of others never seem to have a mark on them even when they have been hit quite a bit. I of course do not mean that they should be battered to death.they just have to get to the size that is "normal" for a given player.

I consider the most important function of a "warm-up" to be getting the lips to their normal swelling size. It points to the fact that some people have a better natural embouchure than do others and it also points to the fact that some people's tissues tend to swell more than do those of others. Quote from: Swingray on Jun 07, 2013, 01:43AMDoes Vegasbound's Tommy Dorsey story point to the fact that warm ups are more mental than physical? Look out the window and put on the clothes that suit you and that day.Enjoy the trombone sound from first minute. It is as long as it takes.Stretch the arms and legs, breath deep and slow. How long?Īnswear is never right or wrong. Don't we agree they do it more and more carefully? Comfortable? Through the last 30 years we have them to wake us up. Dad let me sleep one more minute, please. The strange thing is when we get older it feels more and more like jiipppeyyy!!! A teenager like my daughter is more.ooohh, is it morning already. It depends where we have been in the night before of course. Up and jump! It should be of course, but the reality is different. The first thought is not always jipppyyy its morning. Think when we wake up early in the morning. What is warm up? One word is common carefully. Even a car need warm up before it works the most efficient way. Football players, chess players, runners, skiing, even party people do warm up before going to a party. So many treads about warm up, not only here but in many other different aspects in life.
