A word of friendly advice. When using a tuner in your warm up, before spending an entire 40 minutes fighting the horn, second guessing yourself, and generally becoming deeply frustrated as I just have, check to make sure your tuner is calibrated to A 440 and not A 437. Apparently I didn't learn that one during my 10 years of school. Happy warmup everyone!

Sorry, why use a tuner for warming up?
The purpose of my warm-up procedures is about using my bodily playing apparatus in a flexible and gradually extended way, so that it is stretched, well provided with blood, and hence ready to make music. All done in a fashion preventing sudden overloads of the muscles.
I use my ears and I avoid playing more out of tune than necessary. But if I felt obliged to adapt to a tuner during this process, I just would stiffen up myself.
