Sectional Warm-Ups

This set of warm-ups is tailored to each section's specific developmental needs. The brass section focuses on tone and proper playing positions, pedal tones to stretch the embouchure, and lip slurs to develop range. The woodwinds focus on scales and two-octave runs in six major keys, chromatic scales, articulation exercises, and tuning exercises. The chorale/tuning section can be played by just the woodwinds, brass alone, or all wind instruments together at the end of the warm-up. In a focused five-minute drill, each section gets the most of what they need to develop quickly!
