Masters of Brass - 20 Minute Trombone Warm-Up Routine with Michael Davis - Trailer 1

Instructional Film in English by Jon Welch & Son Nguyen (ca. 54 Minutes; Download Only). Available in the Online Store at www.jonwelchmusic.com.
This film documents Michael himself teaching his "20 Minute Warm-Up Routine" trombone book during a workshop at the International Trombone Festival in Aarhus, Denmark in June of 2009. Listen to and play along with Michael as he discusses the primary concepts of sound, time and pitch and explains his extremely important and fundamental L.E.A. approach to music performance: Listen - Evaluate - Adjust! This one-hour session features 13 of the 15 exercises (incl. corresponding playbacks!) found in Michael's "20 Minute Warm-Up Routine" book, initially performed and commented upon by the author himself. Michael is a student of the Remington school of trombone warm-ups (he attended the Eastman School and studied with Dr. John Marcellus) and this method represents his furthering of these concepts, placing them in a contemporary and accompanied, groove-oriented setting. Take part in Michael Davis' ITF Workshop as if you were there with him and spice up your daily 20 minute warm-up routine playing along with Michael Davis yourself! After this one hour "private" lesson, any warm-up questions you might have had will have been thoroughly answered and you will profit immensely from the tips and tricks Michael imparts along the way. You now have your very own Michael Davis "New York Style" warm-up!

When you're talking about New York trombonists, it's hard not to mention Michael Davis. He's one of the busiest freelancers in the city, active in commercial recording, Broadway shows and top-scale concert and session work. He also tours regularly with the Rolling Stones and is an accomplshed Jazz soloist. But Michael is not only an accomplished performer. He is also a prolific music publisher and educator. One area that his publishing company, Hip-Bone Music, specializes in is realistic and hands-on educational material for beginning and intermediate players. His warm-up and etude books always include a play-along CD for a maximum, realistic musical experience and feature a broad range of contemporary styles and grooves. Don't forget to also check out his excellent brass recordings (featuring many industry heavyweights) and his professional level arrangements and compositions, all available at Hip-Bone Music, Michael is a quintuple threat: performer, composer, arranger, producer and music educator!

Someone is not getting it. They played a fifth too high every single time the octave jump came up. lol

@yiannisgreendog It's not an "automatic F button" it's a trigger that puts the horn in the key of F.

Basically, it just makes you play down a perfect forth.

[yiannisgreendog]

@BabyMakerzUnited Some of them have an automatic F button so you play a b flat and hold the button and it changes it into an f

I'm about to buy myself a new trombone and I wanted to know what's the difference between your trombone and everyone else's? It seems as though their trombones have more to them?

The Emory Remington warm-ups are in theory excellent. Care must be taken to play them in tune i.e F2 is a sharp harmonic E, Eb, D etc. - they all need to be flattened particularly in warm ups. I notice most clammed those notes because lack of adjustment. Also arching over the harmonics jumps is necessary to create a clean interval.
