Greetings I.S.318! Our first tutorial video: chromatic long tones

Greetings class! For our first woodwind tutorial, we'll start with our chromatic long-tone warmup routine. This is adapted from Marcel Moyse's "De La Sonorite", a book every flute player should own. Turns out, this is a great exercise for all woodwinds, so I've attached a PDF link that includes Bb and Eb instruments as well. This takes patience, but I promise you it will pay off! Please take the time to watch this and play along--you'll memorize it after one time through--and include it in your daily warmup. You'll notice a difference in your playing after only a few weeks. If you have any questions or would like to see a specific topic covered in future posts, please enter into the comment field below. Thanks, and good luck practicing!
