Jazz Ensemble Warmups David CaffeyConductor’s Score

Instructions: Tune each section of the band separately beginning with the saxophones. Then have the trombones tune followed by the trumpets. Ideally, the trombone should get the reference pitch from the saxes. The trumpet section would then receive their reference pitch from the trombones. (However, feel free to re-sound the original piano pitch with the saxophones use in the beginning.)

Tuning Up

A. SAXOPHONESAll five in unison from given pitch -

then,

Tune the chord carefully, starting with the bottom pitch in the baritone sax. Always tune from the lowest sounding pitch. After the chord sounds reasonably well in tune, return to the unison tuning note. There should be no “beats.”

INSTRUCTIONS:

Perform each short chord pro-gression in the following order:

A. Full band B. Piano/Bass C. Sax section D. Trombone Section E. Trumpet section F. Full Band

Tune each chord carefully. Be sure that each player is aware of the voiceleading in his or her part. A fast tempo is not the objective.

Try having the ensemble sing their parts. This can contribute significantly to the players’ pitch awareness.

The dynamic at which the exer-cise is played should be varied. The director should indicate the dynamic.

The chord progression appears in six keys to offer different con-texts for tuning chords.

Jazz Ensemble Warmups David CaffeyTrombone 1

Instructions: Tune each section of the band separately beginning with the saxophones. Then have the trombones tune followed by the trumpets. Ideally, the trombone should get the reference pitch from the saxes. The trumpet section would then receive their reference pitch from the trombones. (However, feel free to re-sound the original piano pitch with the saxophones use in the beginning.)

Tuning Up

A. SAXOPHONESAll five in unison from given pitch -

then,

Tune the chord carefully, starting with the bottom pitch in the baritone sax. Always tune from the lowest sounding pitch. After the chord sounds reasonably well in tune, return to the unison tuning note. There should be no “beats.”
