Weekly Warm Up No. 30
Hi Friends,
This week marks the one year anniversary of the Weekly Warm Up and the return of Spring. I’m glad you’re here with us.
As this project continues to move forward, I’ll be sharing new challenges with arpeggios, slurs, synchronization exercises, and scales. Yes, I did just say scales. Brace yourself, people. We’re going to work on them. It will be fun.
A few notes on our apreggios and slurs:
