Resources

Available for download below are two resources that other musicians may find helpful in their practice. The first is a copy of my daily warm-up routine and the second is a copy of my cooldown routine.


My warm-up routine serves as a daily fundamentals check before I dive into whatever I am going to do for the day, be it practicing, rehearsals, performances, or auditions. In contrast, my cooldown routine serves the purpose of feeling relaxed before resting, especially after a long or heavy day of playing.


In both routines, each major section has a few sentences that help guide the player through the exercises and introduce key thinking points. At the end of both routines are written notes that go into further detail about the exercises and their purposes. It may be helpful to read those before working through either routine.
