Daily Muscle Maintenance Routine

This packet is, without a doubt, the most important music that you will
play. I will never try to convince you that it is fun music to play. But, I
will try my best to convince you that it is necessary music to play.
Working from it gives you the opportunity to work on: 1. tone quality,
2. relaxed, full breathing, 3. steady air flow, 4. quick, effortless
tonguing, 5. tuning, 6. correct hand positions, and numerous other
items that make playing the trombone easier. You should play from
this packet daily, doing each of the different exercises in the correct
manner. Can you play trombone without practicing from this packet?
Yes, you can. But you will be a stronger, better player a lot faster by
using this packet DAILY.
