If you do not yet have the Leadology book, you can check it out here…
If you do own Leadology, here are the resources mentioned within the book.
The three sections corresponding to the book are: 1. Gliss Tones 2. Etudes 3. Examples for Analysis.
1. Gliss Tones
These are what I call “gliss tones” or “om tones.” I begin my warm up everyday with these, and recommend them highly. They are on page 11 in Leadology.
Click on the gliss tones soundscape track below for an extra level of fun. I’ve added myself on trombone tracked four times to add to the ambiance and to give you something to zero in on. Because I am multi-tracked, it seems as though I’m never breathing… but I AM, and you will need to as well 🙂. Therefore, remember to let your air run out completely, then RELAX and LET new air flow in FULLY. Take your time and fuel up.
To enjoy some visuals, play the video that contains the audio track.
