Warm-up Vs. Practicing

Hello everyone. Sorry it's been so long since the last post.

The Jazz Academy from Jazz at Lincoln Center has put together a series of videos to help you learn how to warm-up and how to practice. Notice, none of them talk about practicing IN REHEARSAL. Warming up and practicing occur BEFORE rehearsal begins. Here is a good video on the basic concepts of warming up, aka getting your embouchure ready for practicing or performing.

Hopefully, that will help you to better understand the concepts.

​The following video also talks about warming up, but also isolates the concept of long tones, and then adds on the technique side of practicing.

Please post a comment with your thoughts. If you have a question, feel free to post that as well. I'd like this to become an open dialogue for all of us to learn together!
