Baritone Saxophone Finger Warm Up Drills

For Expert Village, I'm EJ John Erickson with Vital Flame Productions, and thank you for joining us on our sessions focusing on the baritone saxophone. Usually you have a little bit more experience, but what I do is we'll just start with those first three fingers that we talked about. Try and go as fast, build up slowly, don't go that fast, but take it slowly, and slam each finger down, going down, then reverse it, go up. Then go up and down. O.K. and try and make them smooth, I'm doing it kind of quickly here. Once you get to that hold all three of these down use your right hand and do the exact same exercise. Back and forth, up and down, and so on. Then put them together. Then add the octave. Building up slowly to the speed that'll get your fingers warmed up. Take your time. So that's warm up.
