In this video I warm up using Major 7th chords in a broken arpeggio and Altered Scales in each key. I like warming up each day with something easy and slow, usually using a metronome. I try to play something I know and can hear well and at a tempo that allows me to play the material fairly accurately. I always feel that working on structure, that is, basics like 7th chords and scales slowly will always benefit your musicianship and ears. After I do a brief warm up of about 5 to 10 minutes I like to take a break, drink water, put the horn down and plan out what I’ll practice next.
~Enjoy!
