Listening
Mind reader – know your principal, study your tone in the section. Record one rehearsal a week???
Know your sound – develop your silent and trusted attacks
 
Warm Up
I try to get into the flexibility and articulation part of my warm up immediately after glissandi. 
Finding my sound – pedal tones, descending valve work and middle register glissandi and triple tonguing. Working to stay relaxed. 
 
I like to use a met to find my fronts and time my air. Always start with breath attacks then I move to accented “bop” notes or pppp short starts. I add length as I progress through the warm up
 
Buzzing
It is similar to stretching before exercise. May or may not prevent over-use but is nothing like the actual race. Better to low buzz after playing a long set. 
Buzzing has become controversial over the years. Use sparingly and never longer than 5 minutes at a time.
Buzz resistance demo.
