Daily Routine
Leadpipe buzz
Pull out the tuning slide, put your mouthpiece in the horn and buzz. A trumpet resonates at
F, a cornet at B. Focus on getting a relaxed feel and a resonating sound. Repeat until you feel
your embouchure responding to the breath in a relaxed manner.
Warm up
Clarke technical studies #1
Start the first note as a fermate, to not rush into the exercise. Play crescendo and diminuendo
as you go up and down the scale.
Expanding scales
Think of accelerating the air through the horn. Play with relaxed lips and firm corners. Get
stronger as you go up in the scale and more relaxed as you go down.
