Really didn't have any time to practice today (barely got any kind of a warm-up in), but what I did play was flowing very well and I got a couple good comments about my sound. Didn't even get an hour in but here's what I did:
Cichowicz Slurs (Up to High D, want to keep expanding the range everyday if I can)
Schlossberg Lip Slurs (Fifths, Thirds, Octaves, etc.)
Arban Single Tonguing exercises
Unfortunately, that was all I was able to do (in about 45 minutes). I did try doing some slow breathing on the walk to school today so maybe that helped me feel more relaxed and open while I was playing (I'll try it again tomorrow). Since I didn't get any substantial work in today I expect my chops to feel pretty crappy/weak tomorrow so air flow is going to be even more important. I should really start doing Breathing Gym work...
