    The passage provides instructions for warm-up exercises focused on developing a beautiful tone through long tones and scales played with a steady airflow and relaxed embouchure and shoulders.

    The goals of the warm-up exercises are to connect notes smoothly with a steady airflow, eliminate any bumps in the sound, and play with the most beautiful tone possible while focusing on abdominal breathing.

    The warm-up techniques emphasized include playing scales and intervals in one breath with a metronome, looking in a mirror to keep the shoulders and fingers relaxed, connecting notes smoothly, maintaining a steady airflow, repeating intervals until they are smooth, and focusing on abdominal breathing to push the belly out while blowing with a fast steady airstream.

    Super Long Tones Warm-up

    Adapted from Bil Jackson, and excerpted from the Better Clarinet Tone course
    Play each scale in one breath, with a metronome as slow as you can manage.
    (Try starting with quarter note = 88)
    Look in a mirror to ensure that your shoulders and ngers remain relaxed.
