Resources
Trombonists looking for free resources can download this transcription of Jonathan's daily routine, which consists of long-tones, lip-slurs, and various other exercises found in the Arban's method, Schlossberg drills and Alessi Warm-Ups.
This routine is a good example of a daily warm-up aimed at covering all the bases. In order to reach a high level as a brass player, it is imperative to practice fundamentals everyday, including articulations, flexibility, sound concept and slide technique.
Also available for download is a 2-octave major scale sheet and a basic list of trombone method book publications that Jonathan uses for both himself and his students organized by mastery level.
