| Re: Daily Routine? Breathing Gym also has some good exercises in it. My old high school started using it this year during marching band season, and it really helped to open everyones throats and get the air really moving. I only hope they continued doing these exercises for the concert season as well. I have also noticed that a few of the college professors at the state school back home, and here at Georgia Southern have also started including BG exercises into lessons.
For buzzing, my instructor started using a book from Sachs (as mentioned by Mark Hughes and Chris Martin in a master class.) It starts with doing a free buzz so that you can develop the tone in your ear and lips before placing your embature on the mpc, and finally on the trumpet. Just a side note, my practice session is about 150% more effective (and in tune) when I start with this. |
