Design your own warm ups based on what you already know from other trombonists or your band director, or books. Write them on 3X5 cards, one each. Then each day randomly draw a card. Do that warm up. Get through the stack before you put the card back into the stack.
I saw Marshall Gilkes perform last night at the Univ. Of Oregon. Amazing. I am more convinced than ever that a rigorous daily fundamentals work out is essential to getting anywhere close to his level of playing. No one can force a musician to hit it every day. So musicians have to develop systems of self discipline. There is no better way than quantitative goal setting.
Adding on to this video-I found that saying the vocal harmony names (do,rey,mi,fa,so,etc.)in your head helps your scales and pitches tremendously and begins an advanced way of playing an instrument (by ear)
2:41 I use this exact warm-up. Went through a lot of different procedures over the years, but this one I find to have the best results. Long tone pedals... loosens everything up, and also gets your breath support working. Highly recommend it!
Great video! I have something to add though, 'cause I feel this is super overlooked. Before I even pick up the horn and play, I do a few breathing exercises. Before and after I do breathing exercises, it's like night and day when I play a difficult piece that requires a lot of endurance and a lot of air. If I don't do breathing exercises for just a few minutes before my warm-up then playing in general won't be as easy. People from marching band backgrounds might know of these exercises, i.e. the Breathing Gym
Here's a question. I've been pro for sixty years....After working very hard (Last two years) to produce our last album GIANT STEPS I developed a problem with aperture. It's like I have grown an extra layer of skin on my embouchure . NO! I hav'nt killed the nerve like Freddy Hubbard. But does anybody have any ideas since I can't find any info on this anywhere. Right now it takes me half an hour + to warm up and even then flexibility is touch and go.
Great tips, thanks. But it is weird how much the guy on the right days "chops". Is this a normal way to say lips or mouth somewhere in the world? Anyway, I'm off to get some blood to my chops

Crenshaw dropping some wisdom!

This is amazing! If only more videos from JALC trombone players were up

+Jazz at Lincoln Center's JAZZ ACADEMY can you take video about elliot and his technique? or....can i find something like this video about him?
Macklemore is pretty good on trombone!
shoegazer666 disrespectfull
Eliot mason is pretty good on vocals you mean
This is pretty much what the internet is about to me.
Didn't know Macklemore played trombone
Bro you funny man
thought exactly the same thing.

Thanks guys! I've been looking for more effective warm ups!

Where can I get a girl that looks at me like Chris looks at Elliott?

Chris making those low B's look easy as with those longass arms!
What mouthpiece is eliot playing on?
Mr. Midnight yeah, it looks fuckin bonkers
That's a kind of mouthpiece they use in the symphony, it's a Bach I think.
It’s a BAC custom
It looked like he may have had a booster on it.
He's allergic to nickel, so the opening is made of a different material.
Does anyone know the trombone that Elliot Mason has?
I'm pretty sure the one in the vid is a bac custom elliot mason model.

Try staying hydrated if you haven't i guess, I always have my lip balm near me
What horn and mouthpiece is the guy on the right playing? A very obscure setup coming from an orchestral bass trombonist’s perspective
Even monster players play long tones!
What kind of trombone does Chris play on?
Nikko Lopez I think it's a Bach mouthpiece.
It's an old King 2B- great for jazz.
What kinda trombone was the kind the dude on the right had
Nathan Cherry I know that it’s a BAC but I don’t know exactly what model
Nate The Jazz man I believe it was custom built. It’s not commercially available
I believe he had a Rath Trombone.
It is the bac Eliot mason series trombone

Whats a quick and efficient warm up routine I really need to make one Im always confused on what I should do during class
muito bom!!👏👏
I envy Elliot’s pedal range.
2019
This video would be hilarious taken out of context
bom!!
No blink challenge by Crenshaw when playing! How do you do that!
Jk
Red Lion Norwich.
Why does the white guy sound British and southern at the same time
This is sometimes what happens when a Brit moves to the US. A blending of accents!
