7.45 until the first note. don't talk to me, show me. Better yet, let ME play.

Like I said in the video everyone is different. Trumpet players might whip through a few Clark exercises to get their fingers moving. My friend trumpet star Tom Parmeter would play a dozen or so high Gs and then be ready. He rarely would ever crack any notes after playing two four-hour sessions! Whatever works best for each player. Everyone has their own practice routines. You don't need to be shown every note. Use your own playing experience to develop your own one-minute warm-up!

@@PeterWetherill - "Use your own playing experience to develop your own one-minute warm-up!" Could have said just THAT in 15 seconds, didn't need 10 minutes. Having taucht methods at the local conservatory, a huge red flag was the teacher talking and talking and talking and talking and the students ... not playing. You can't work out what "works for you", if you're having to listen to your teacher drone on and on and not playing. In a demonstration video, if you're talking to playing ratio is more than 50%, you're not teaching, you're self-advertaising.

@@musicofnote1 Yes, I could have said that at the beginning, and then people would only watch that and not the rest of the video and not get the method for developing their own warm-up. Remember that KZbin videos also need to entertain or no one will watch your videos. You have an advantage because everyone loves to see dogs! Music instruction is abstract and needs to have more background. Music performance does not. I also have music videos with little or no speaking.
