Jazz Trombone Warm Ups eBook

This Isn’t Just a Warm-Up Book. It’s a Daily System for Stronger Playing.

You warm up every day—but is it actually helping you build tone, flexibility, and range for jazz performance?

Most warm-ups are made for generic band programs or classical players. They don’t prepare you for the unique demands of jazz: improvisation, breath control, fast articulation, and high-range consistency.

That’s why I created this eBook.

Meet the Creator: Shannon Gunn

Hi, I’m Shannon. I’ve been a professional jazz trombone player for over 15 years, with performance credits including:

  • 🎶 The Kennedy Center

  • 🎶 DC Jazz Festival

  • 🎶 Teaching jazz at the college level for 4 years

After coaching hundreds of students, I kept hearing the same thing:

“How should I warm up?”

“How do I increase my range?”

“How do I double tongue?”

So I built a resource for all jazz trombonists—from the ground up.

I am endorsed by Conn Selmer and play a Bach 16M New York Model. I play on a Greg Black mouthpiece.
