A music sheet titled "Warm Up Packet" with instructions for long tones, including musical notations and fingerings for trombone practice.

Warm-Ups: Trombone

Pick exercises to craft a 5-10 minute routine that fit with your skills. Choose 1-2 long tones and lip slurs a day to continually build range, flexibility, and a strong, steady tone.

Reference this sheet music when working on your long tones and lip slurs with the First Position Fundamental Videos linked here:

Sheet of music with exercises labeled 1 through 5 for practicing first position trombone slides, with musical notes and directions printed.

Pick exercises to craft a 5-10 minute routine that fit with your skills. After your long tones and lip slurs, pick a snappy slide exercise. Work on speeding up the exercises along with its corresponding video to work on technique. Try playing multiple in a row for an extra technique challenge.

Snappy Slide Studies: Trombone

Music sheet titled 'Play-Alongs/Etudes' with four sections: 1. Stair Stepping, 2. Mirror Mode, 3. Rain, Rain, 4. Geepers, each with musical notes and instructions.

After your warm-up, work on these songs to continue building your skills.

NOTE: I suggest learning these songs by ear with the video first, and then referencing this sheet music after to help you to learn to read music. At the very least, listen to the full song before learning, and then reference the recording as you practice. Playing along with the recording to practice is extremely helpful!

Play-Along/Etudes: Trombone
