About a year or so ago National Peoples Radio here in the US had a one horn program on horn music and NYC horn players. I can't recall the names, but I think one of the players involved was Chambers and the other was well known horn player in New York who did both symphony work and jazz gigs. One evening they both were working together and the player whose name I can't recall showed just before the performance with no warm up time provided. Chambers (if my memory on this is correct) asked him about warming up, his answer, "I did that - once."

I thought it would fun and educational to ask professional and college players about how they warm-up and warm down. This is a very good question because there are many different styles to everyone's warm-up routine. Hans Pizka may warm-up doing long tones and Paul Mansur may warm-up doing arpeggios and vice versa. Let's start off with me: I buzz on my mouthpiece, always making sure that I center every note. Then I play every harmonic (please excuse me if this is the wrong term) on each fingering, then I play long tones and work on my low range (from the Brophy book). Then I work on the Farkas accuracy exercises. And finally, I play a slow Kopprasch etude. _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/bgross%40airmail.net _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
