The Five-Minute Warm-Up is a concise yet thorough daily routine to strengthen essential skills that contribute to successful performances. Comprising 150 measures of exercises in tone, tuning, technique, and musicianship at a tempo of 120 bpm, The Five-Minute Warm-Up clocks in at precisely 5:00, providing band directors a consistent, efficient approach to starting rehearsals on the marching grid or field, or in the classroom.
The Five-Minute Warm-Up includes nine progressively sequenced drills, from unison long tones to root-fifth-third tuning, lip slurs, technical exercises, short chord progressions, and a concluding chorale. Notable throughout are dynamic markings, articulations, and other musical expressions that make this daily routine an exercise in musicianship as well as technique.
