| My best advice to you is to warm up before your classes start. Your embouchure will be set for the day and when band starts you can take the 7 minutes before hand to get your blood flowing throw your chops again. You are sort of in between a rock and a hard place.
How many times have I been late to gigs and had to put the mpc in my horn and BAM! The first downbeat! I have really been able to get used to a short warm up time. I take about 5-10 minutes on a regular day to get warmed up....I guess I am just used to it.
7 Min Warm-up goes like this!
2 minutes long tones....
2 minutes flexibility study of choice...
2 minutes of two octave scales... to get the high register crankin'!
1 minute to hit on the cute flute or clarinet player of choice with your favorite pickup line! HA!
Downbeat of the band.... Who says you cant use the first song or two to complete your warmup?? It's that easy! LOL.... |
