Right now, I’m working on perfecting my warmup routine. If I work on these 7 areas before I start my “work” for the day, I’m feeling f.i.n.e. While I’m definitely a creature of habit, I also make it a point to listen to what my body wants. So, if my lips want to do whistle tones instead of harmonics one day, that’s ok! Now, if only I could whittle this all down to 30 minutes rather than a full hour… what are some of your favorite warmups?? Let me know if you try this routine, or a variation on it, and see how you like it! #flutists #flutist #musicianlife #musician #flute #fluteplayer #classicalmusic

#whatsonmystand looking pretty patriotic this week! I’ve got a request for one more #paganinicaprice (video coming soon!). The @hgo_orchestra is having a flute audition next month, so I got my #mozartconcerto out for the first time in 8 MONTHS and OMG it feels SO much better. That’s probably the longest I’ve gone without playing Mozart G since I was 18 starting school. I dare say I missed it…??? Also, my new favorite warmup book is the Artaud harmonics book. And I’ve been just browsing Kujala’s Vade Mecum for scales exercises. Would you like to see inside the Artaud harmonics book? Let me know in the comments. I’m obsessed!! What are your favorite warmup exercises?? #flutemusic #flutes #flutist #flute #fluteplayer #flutelife #music #musician #musicians #musiciansofinstagram

And variations 6 and 7 are super different from the last two! I really like 6 and 7, I think they’re my favorites of the bunch. To me, 6 says “Spanish flair” 💃🏼 and 7 is busy insects flying around 🐞🦋. #paganinicaprice #paganinicaprice24 #flute #fluteplayer #flutes #flûte #flutist
