As a fan of warm-ups and daily routines for brass instruments, I constantly focus on breathing and buzzing exercises allied to the concept of singing and playing with the best sound you can get from the very beginning of your day.
I strongly believe that a flow of exercises starting with breathing, buzzing, and playing different scales and arpeggios in all ranges, articulations and dynamics, is the way to go for a healthy day of playing.
In his book "Sing, Buzz, Blow, Play", Mark Reynolds achieves exactly that and much more.

As brass players sometimes we forget that “we are the instrument” and not the instrument or mouthpiece itself and “Sing, Buzz, Blow, Play” help students to remember that very easily and with a very good structure.
In an era where the flow of information is very chaotic, “Sing, Buzz, Blow, Play” give the students a clear way to strengthen their basics and so a clear path to a good future!

“Sing, Buzz, Blow, Play” is amazingly clear and precise to the student as it gets! This is a great tool and resource that can help the player to refine the internal audiation of sound and teach them to transfer that directly to the lips. For those looking for a break down of the Song and Wind pedagogy, this is it. Bravo, and well done, Mark!
