Avoided Warm Up Techniques

 
Piano Warm Up Technique 1

 
Piano Warm Up Technique 2

Guitar Warm Up Technique
 
 
 
These 3 techniques are 3 of the warm up techniques I avoided using before my rehearsals.

The first Piano warm up technique can be used as a warm up before playing a piece of music but I, personally, think that it is too slow to be used as a warm up. Warm ups are meant to be effective, however this specific warm up is too slow to be classed as effective. Increasing the speed of this technique would improve it greatly as it would make you work harder yet not too hard for your warm ups.

The second Piano warm up technique is irrelevant to either of my Piano pieces I have chosen for my BTEC Music Performance. It may be slightly too hard for some as a warm up exercise at first but once it is mastered, it should be much easier to perform, however you would still have to spend time practicing this actual technique when you could find a much more effective technique which is actually easier therefore it doesn't waste as much valuable time.

 The Guitar warm up technique is also irrelevant to my chosen Guitar piece. Overall, I don't think that it is a good technique either because it isn't really helping you either warm up before a performance or just actually help you play a song. It is too repetitive and if overused, it may cause some strain due to the repeated movement of all fingers and thumb.
