Daily Routines provides a systematic way to develop and improve fundamentals. There are nine routines, each divided into skill categories: long tones, crescendo/diminuendo, flexibility, subito dynamics, resonant low playing, tonguing on one note, tonguing and moving around, high range and low warm-down. Each of the nine routines is devoted to a particular broad topic, such as Range. Players need only play one routine a day to develop and maintain fundamental skills.
