Warm-Up For Jazz Trombone By Joseph Pardal Vol.1

Warm-up book for jazz trombonists, classical etc. In the world of brass instrument players, many manias and diseases develop, such as Bell's palsy, oromandibular dystonia, bruxism, Satchmo syndrome and stage anxiety .Wind players are the most affected and represent 70% of patients in the profession. A 2009 study of 450 musicians from Argentina found that 53% had ever suffered injuries to muscles, tendons and joints, 22% from trauma and 17% from dystonia. .
Dystonia is a less frequent syndrome, but it also affects musicians, generating problems in the central nervous system, with involuntary movements triggered by a certain repetitive act. Oromandibular dystonia is a focal dystonia characterized by involuntary spasms of the masticatory, facial and muscular muscles. lingual. Different forms of oromandibular dystonia are distinguished: open, with lateral deviation and closed depending on the affected muscles.
Oromandibular closure dystonia is caused by
Dystonic spasms of the temporalis muscles and
masseters.
Mainly in this group suffer from problems in the muscles of the lips.
Satchmo syndrome, which is a muscle tear due to the effort of said muscle to make the instrument sound.
Oromandibular dystonia disorders of the temporomandibular joint, whose symptoms increase especially during practice. Playing wind instruments damages the blood vessels of the brain. Like athletes, they require regular and regular warm-up and especially in beginners. Coordination of the muscles of the face, lips and tongue helps to breathe! Knowing the correct way to warm up prevents medical side effects like tears and dramatically improves performance!
All this heating is coordinated with the facial muscles, the air, the lungs and the diaphragm, which is one of the strongest muscles in the human body. The diaphragm, which is located below the lungs, is the main muscle of respiration. It is an elongated, dome-shaped muscle that contracts rhythmically and continuously and, most of the time, involuntarily. As you inhale, the diaphragm contracts and flattens, and the chest cavity widens. This contraction creates a vacuum that draws air into the lungs. As you exhale, the diaphragm relaxes and returns to its dome shape, and air is expelled from the lungs. Emotions such as sadness, fear, anxiety, or stress can influence diaphragmatic activity or proper function. In turn, these emotions can cause alterations in the perception of pain. The activity of the diaphragm is also essential in maintaining posture and changes in body position, both because of its location and its insertion areas in the center of the body, and because of its isolated contractions; which has been shown to produce postural alterations depending on the position in which we find ourselves. At the level of the circulatory system, the diaphragm facilitates venous and lymphatic return; This is because its movements can cause changes in body pressure. This function It will be important for the absorption of substances from the peritoneal cavity, as well as for good blood circulation in the liver and abdomen. The pressures on the abdominal viscera produced by the movement of the diaphragm favor peristaltic movements and digestive function., its gastroesophageal function is also relevant, since the crural part of the diaphragm prevents gastroesophageal reflux and intervenes in other important processes. Total control of the diaphragm is important to play any wind instrument. Joseph Pardal
