My Favourite Warm-up!

In this video, I go over some pointers for how to warm-up, and what my favourite method of warming-up involves! Enjoy!
If you want a one-off lesson with me, drop by euph.org and have a look at my booking calendar!

I never warm up cuz I never cool down!

Fascinating

Really really interesting video here, I'm a cornet player myself but as I'm sure you will agree most of this is transferable skills across all brass instruments!

[@danielthomas7629]

100%! All brass instruments work the same way, just at different sizes!

Awesome stuff. I dont suppose, for the next video, having a mic so the talking isn't so quiet?? I struggle to hear it, even on full volume

[@danielthomas7629]

I'll dig out my lapel mic! Thanks for the comment!

Hello! Do you use just air? Does the tone comes without buzzing ?

[@danielthomas7629]

@@manuelgatterer7317 Just air! No tongue or buzzing, just a 'HOO' attack.

I always had difficulty finding the difference between warm up, and practice. Where do the warm up stop, and the practice begin? 🤔 Also... That is not a 4AL? 🙂

[@danielthomas7629]

@steffenmrsk4720 it's one of the first SM4s ever made! For me, the warm up stops when my embouchure response is good and my flexibility is working well.

[@steffenmrsk4720]

Yes, that make sense - So it has the little mark on it, after the Denis Wick engraving? (Nerd alert) #whatmouthpiecedoyouplay 😅

[@danielthomas7629]

@steffenmrsk4720 Got some custom pieces on the way from Doug Elliott! Might do a vid on them when they arrive...

​@@danielthomas7629 please do! It will be interesting! 🙂

@@danielthomas7629it’d be great to see some info/thoughts on Doug’s euph pieces!

I knew a world class player who always needed a 4 hour warm up. Mental prisons

[@danielthomas7629]

That needs therapy!
