TIPS:
* Practice Slowly! You may progressively get faster, especially with the lateral exercises, but speed is not the objective.
* All interval exercises are not limited to those given. The player should explore larger/smaller intervals as he/she becomes more comfortable.
* Choose an exercise routine and stick with it. You may use this warm-up, exactly as it is written; others may use this to develop their own (recommended).
Regardless, a repeated-daily routine will produce results.
