Sir, i am a retired U. S. Marine and played trombone for 7 years about 43 years ago. I recently bought a new horn and started trying to play again. I have been playing for just over a month now and about a week into my practicing, i came across your warm up routine. It is brillant and i play it every day. At first i was pitiful, but i have no quit in me and i almost played it without any mistakes for the first time last night and then i got to 7th position and so much for no mistakes. I just wanted to let you know how much i admire your talent and ability, and your willingness to share this phenomenal warmup routine with the world. Thank you so much for doing that, you are the complete package of greatness! With great respect, Rob
Thank you for this. Some key takeaways for me were a. how thoughtful and relaxed each note sounded, b. the clear and relaxed attack at the start of each note, c. the presence at the end of each note, d. how the most mundane exercise can be made to sound so clear, present and thoughtful. Really beautiful!
I love the concept of your warm-up. Nowadays it is common to see 30/45/60 min Warm-ups but as professional athletes that we are, the warm-up should be a short activity to prepare ourselves in a short time for the day and after that work on the different technical aspects like flexibility, trills, scales, high or low register etc. Thanks for this video.
Totally agree especially when gigging . I also think that each n every individual has there own way to warm up , for me I do a little bit of buzzing then long tones on any major scale warm up , getting the instrument itself warm , zero into the middle of the major scale notes and I'm warmed up
Maestro LIndberg, thank you for sharing your daily warmup, after doing it for at least four weeks, I´m starting to feel some stability and confortability of my embochure. Greetings from Colombia
..so many videos where you show SOOO VERY much humility..... When I'm screwing up LIFE... THIS Helps me. When I DESPERATELY NEED to get at least SOMETHING DONE.... THIS Helps me. When I REALLY Need to get back on the Right Track... THIS and SO MANY of your other Videos gift me transcendent humility from a Great One. I have such "impossible" Ambitions... as a Composer, as a singer, as an Art Theorist.... And I ALWAYS find myself going back to YOUR Videos.... How DEEPLY you UNDERSTAND your various Missions YOU, CHRISTIAN, point the Way to immorality.... and it's up to your viewers to ask themselves... Is that what I want? Am I willing to pay the PRICE? AM I willing to CONFRONT myself? Am I willing to BELIEVE? Am I willing to be humble?
Thank you doing this for your fellow trombone players! Wonderful to see how a master musician thinks and works. Look forward to all your future projects!
Thank you, you have been an inspiration to me when I was a trombone player, and still are even now. I've listened to you since I was a child, now I'm having my own kids listen to you! Truly, thank you for your music. I would not be where I am or who I am without it!
Very interesting and helpful, thank you so much. My ‘lockdown’ goal was to relearn my old bass trombone after a gap of 20+ years; I’ve enjoyed watching many of your videos in the process (well, you were my - and everyone else’s - hero in the 1990s) which have helped me in my task. I have enjoyed watching you working on the Bach over the past weeks. Very inspiring and it encouraged me to dig out the cello suites - excruciating for the rest of the family but I am thoroughly enjoying myself! I also love the way you combine your music with your spiritual and physical well-being. I hope you have plenty of space for exercise in your hotel suite and find your temporary incarceration brings you unexpected opportunities. Best wishes.
Thanks for sharing this amazing video Maestro. I am a professional trumpet player from Brazil. I will try to practice those exercises in unisson with you. Thanks again!
He's the second Professional Trombone Player that I witnessed making a mistake. It's really good to witness this as I'm developing my playing. Very Inspiring!!
Hi Christian. Thanks for your time and sharing your wisdom and intuition. Can you tell me which is better, mouth or nose breathing? Also what is the material on your bell and where can I order it, I suppose it for picking up and placing the trombone. Greetings from Cape Town
Thank you, Mr. Lindberg. As a trumpet player who also teaches some young trombonists, I'm always seeking to learn from master trombonists how to better instruct my trombone students. Hearing you explain how you approach your warm-up and then hearing you demonstrate was most helpful. By the way, I have the old dvd of you playing a recital with Hakan (gasp! made almost 30 years ago!!!), and I enjoy it so much. My favorite on that dvd is probably your playing of the music from Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet. So delightful!
I appreciate Christian Lindberg, his playing, and his information. I appreciate his teaching. I find his situation interesting -- the Covid quarantine! How often do we hear a lesson from someone undergoing a quarantine? I don't understand why we need the ticking noise in the background, however; it's annoying and distracting, completely unnecessary.
Tack Christian. Jag har länge längtat efter att få lära mig din uppvärmningsrutin. Själv spelar jag bastrombon och ska fundera på om hur jag bäst tillämpar den i mitt instrument. Jag vill ju få med det ventilregistret samt pedaltoner också. Ta hand om dig. Tack för allt du gör för oss trombonister. Mvh Leif i Skyttorp.
Thanks for sharing your approach about warming up Maestro. I've wondering why/what do you use that sort of cloth on your bell section? Greetings from Peru 🇵🇪 by the way!!!

Hi Christian, what would you suggest for playing the mouth piece, to put the mouth piece in the middle of the mouth (straight) and to put the mouth piece not straight. Will it bring any difference by placing in different position? I play the mouth piece to the right side always not straight, I don’t know if this may change my performance. What is your opinion?Thank you
Hi Christian. You seem to have photographic memory because I have never seen you use music scores when you perform as a trombone soloist. Do you have any special techniques for memory training? How do you memorize all those trombone concerts you perform without music scores? During all years its enormous quantities of music soloscores. Greetings/Leif
Thanks for your interesting remarks and compliments! I have no photographic memory whatsoever, everything is an audible memory. I was just born that way, once I hear something it stays in my audible memory immediately. The back side of it is that I am a terrible sightreader...haha!! But on the other hand, as a soloist I am never exposed to that :-)
Hello Mr. Lindberg, can you please show me the scheme as a note? I am a beginner and don't have the hearing to play it. It's enough for me if you show me the WarmUp scheme on the first move. That goes on chromatically, right? Your sound is great and my role model! Thanks in advance!
His trombone is a Conn 88hcl (a variation on the Conn 88h that features a valve that Maestro Lindberg designed). The Blessing b-88 was inspired by the Conn 88h, which is why it probably looks similar to you.
I wish I had the time...I will do as much as my schedule allows, but soon I will be totally booked up with compsing deadlines, conducting engagements and much much more!!!
@@ChristianLindbergTrombone Thank u so much sir for your reply.I can understand your situation.I would request u to look into this topic as soon as possible.Take care & do your Next works in a dashing & dynamic way.All the best 👍
@@ChristianLindbergTrombone Maestro Lindberg if I may, I have a question after reading this comment regarding tuning to A 442 or 443 in Europe. I have been using your line of mouthpieces for most of the last 15 years (specifically the 4 and 10 CL) and always wondered why I have to pull my tuning slide out a little further when I use your mouthpieces. Is it me? Or are your mouthpieces designed that way due to the tuning used in Europe?
@@hermanjimenez Thank you for your interesting question. The tuning is the same but so you are probably using too much effort when playing these mouthpieces. One of the great advantages with this mouthpiece is that it is shaped a bit lika a french horn mouthpiece and you can therefore relax much more in your muscles and open up. When you found that relaxing embouchure you will notice that your ptich will get more stable,your sound bigger and you will get much better endurance! Best of luck Herman!!
I am trombone player myself. I play in highschool and have played in allstate band. But am I the only who finds this video relaxing?
You are absolutely not the only one, I personally think so too!
Everyday, I spend 14 minutes playing along with Christian Lindberg! 🙂 What an honor!
Great to now! Keep it up!

Thank you much Luca!!
Thank you so much for posting this! I struggle most with flexibility, and this seems like an amazing warm up to build it up. Thank you!
Thank you Patrick and best of luck!
You have a beautiful sound. Hopefully one day I'll be able to sound beautiful like you.
I will refer to it every day. thank you very much.
This is wonderful! Thank you for sharing your wisdom Maestro! I love that you are not too proud to include the mistakes.
He's the second Professional Trombone Player that I witnessed making a mistake. It's really good to witness this as I'm developing my playing. Very Inspiring!!
I thought this chap at first glance was Toby Young. He has Toby's sense of humor & daring.
Thank you sir. Look forward to learning more warm up and trombone skills on 9/20 master class🙂
Thank you!! See you there :-)
Its amazing how good the trombone can sound with only using lip slurs and warm ups!
Thank you soo much!! I wish I were in my studio though...in this suite the accoustic is terrible!!

Ola voçe é sensacional!
Muito top toca muito meu Deus amo ver vc tocando
Best!!!
Thank you!!!
Thank you for sharing this. Why do you move the slide when you finish the position?
It is to keep the slide from drying up. Always make sure that the slide-o-ix is evenly spread out on the slide!
Hello Master, as you say in the video you have other Warm ups, can you put them on? when it can, my myth has always been
Can you tell me why the cloth is wrapped around the bell?
Is that piece of cloth around the bell throat sold anywhere? Or did you make that yourself? I would imagine it is for dialing in some of the response
What are your thoughts on the pressure of the mouthpiece against the lips? Should you try to keep it to a minimum or does it even matter?
I think I'd go mad if I was locked into a hotel suite for 14 days.
many thanks maestro for sharing your knowledge :)
Thank you very much!
Does your trombone happen to be a blessing usa? I have a model b-88 and it looks very similar so I was curious
His trombone is a Conn 88hcl (a variation on the Conn 88h that features a valve that Maestro Lindberg designed). The Blessing b-88 was inspired by the Conn 88h, which is why it probably looks similar to you.
