“Connecting The Dots: The Warmup Guide for The 21st Century Versatile Trombonist”
Releasing April 17, 2023
This warmup book is a combination of several methods that have worked for Altin Sencalar‘s playing and addressed weaknesses that he has overcome through his development as a player. He has utilized every exercise/focus in this warmup sequence for the last seven to ten years of playing, and he continues to use it as part of his approach to playing the trombone.
From the Foreword by Michael Dease
“For trombonists, the warmup is a powerful tool. It is a routine that connects skills from your mind, through your body, and then to and through your instrument. Altin Sencalar presents his warmup approach in an organized and effective way throughout the book. You can hear its effect in his
engaging styles of articulation, supple flexibility across the entire instrument, and in his wonderful, clear trombone sound.”
