How does one do a warm up if I don't read notes? thanks.

[@ScarletGoukSaxophonist]

Hi! You can always warm up without looking at notes. The aim of warming up is to prepare our mental and physical readiness. Avoid muscle cramp etc. The best warm up is to play your usual routine exercises, which are the one you are already familiar in your head and muscle. Because that way you can focus on your sound and enhance your awareness on playing, instead of thinking the notes. My advice would be reading the notes first, and start memorising it. It will take several practice sessions to digest and internalise the music. But when you start playing without notes, and look at things around you, you’ll find joy and connection of yourself, the sound and the present. Because your sound is starting to resonate! Warming up doesn’t hv to be difficult passages, it can be as easy as a long note. Hope it helps! :)
