This is a transcription of a workshop given by Hardenberger regarding his warm-up routine, from 20 years ago. He echoes a lot of Greg’s teachings and even mentions golf! It’s a long article but some notable points are:

“Let what is not good slowly disappear.”

“Two raw materials … vibrations of the lips and … air.”

Regarding tennis and golf, “It is the most useful therapy for a brass musician inasmuch as it builds on the same feeling.”

Anyway, I found it very enlightening.

GREG’s RESPONSE:
Hey Patricia, thanks so much for posting this, I’ll have a good read through it.

For those interested, here is a video talking about my latest golf exploits and the learning process as a whole.

Cheers,
Greg
