Beautiful. I recently found your channel and have already purchased a couple of your arrangements. Do you have any tips on warming up the embouchure? I find it takes me at least a couple hours of playing to get my mouth muscles prepared to play with the control I like. Is there a quicker way? I'm thinking of those early morning church performances.😅
@nellieou, I can completely relate to the challenge of playing for those early morning services! I would encourage you to find a warm up that hits the "highlights" of playing with just a few exercises when your time is short ( you can do a full warm up most days, so its okay to shorten them before a service). I actually talk about this in our "Practical Tips for the Flute" playlist on our channel. Consistency is key in keeping your embouchure stable, and even a few minutes a day will help you stay in shape. On those early mornings, I will play some long tones to get my air moving, and then probably one key area ( Major and Minor) out of the exercises in Maquarre's Daily Exercises. I hope that is helpful!
