Thread: Daily Exercise Technique Building Recommendations

  1. Daily Exercise Technique Building Recommendations

    Hello everyone, I am a student who plays the Euphonium. I am fairly good at my instrument, DEFINITELY good at auditioning, but I feel like I could be better. I want to pursue my dreams of being a musician. What daily exercises would any of you recommend I use? If it is necessary to know my skill level, I am currently an honor band student and the first chair in my wind ensemble. Thanks!

    Welcome to the forum. I warmup playing some scales - tongued and slurred with arpeggios. Not long ago I started using “Chicowitz Flow Studies”. If interested you can check out post below for treble clef, and for bass clef see JVickers’ post below that one:

    This might be a great time to join the International Tuba-Euphonium Association (ITEA). Once you are a member you have access to all the resources, which includes some exercises and warmup routines. Plus there are great articles on the site if you browse through the Journals.

  4. I start my by alternating breathing and mouthpiece buzzing exercises. I then move on to long tones initiated by breath attacks, after which go through Remington daily studies. If I still have time to practice, I'll play scales and arpeggios before I work on music I'm slated to play in the near future, or solos I want to play in the distant future.
