THE SOUND BEGINS HERE Daily Warm-Up Routine for Trombone by José Pardal N.1 NEW YORK: NEW YORK

Playing the trombone doesn’t begin at the concert or even in rehearsal. It starts much earlier. It begins when you connect with yourself, with your body, with your breath… with the silence before the first note.The Sound Begins Here is a daily routine designed to help you build a sound that is solid, flexible, and full of intention. It’s not a mechanical list of exercises. It’s a path. One I invite you to walk every day, with care and respect.Consistency is the key. If you follow this routine every day — even for a short time — you’ll notice how your sound improves, how your body responds better, and how playing stops feeling like a struggle and becomes a natural extension of your inner voice.Every exercise has a purpose. Don’t rush. Don’t do it just to get it done. Do it to grow. The quality of the sound you build in the first few minutes of your day will be the foundation for everything that follows.This is where the sound begins. This is where you begin.
