Take 22: Repetition till failure...

Playing the trombone IS tiring. While it's lighter than a lot of other brass instruments (despite its size), it's still awkward to support with only one hand (the other hand is moving the slide and does not support weight). It also takes a lotta air. So here am I, practicing exercise 10 till failure... not unlike doing reps in a gym till you cannot move the weights anymore. But I don't think this is so good for a musician. I think we shouldn't repeat till failure, but repeat until we can no longer maintain good form - otherwise, we might be repeating bad habits (that compensate for the fatigue). We should stop at the first failure from fatigue - or better still, just before it happens.
