Good Warm Up Techniques

Piano Warm Up Technique 1

Piano Warm Up Technique 2

 

Guitar Fingerpicking Warm Up Technique

 

 

 

These 3 warm up techniques are really simple but effective if used regularly.

 

The first Piano warm up technique can prove useful for both hands as it exercises the hand muscles and, if played correctly, can help you memorise and play each scale if the notes are alternated. This is useful for playing pieces that have a lot of movement in either hand and for songs with a wide range

 of notes played in one hand.

 

The second Piano warm up technique is very useful to use when you are playing a piece of music that requires either a cross over with one hand or the use of a wide range of notes in quick concession with each other. This technique can be utilised effectively with both hands.

 

This Guitar fingerpicking warm up is very helpful because you are required to play a range of different strings one after the other. This helps the you become much better after time with fingerpicking using different fingers and increasing your speed and accuracy. Therefore you would be able to play the pieces much more effectively and to a better standard.

 

In my own opinion, I believe that the Piano Warm Up Technique 2 is better than the Piano Warm Up Technique 1 because you move your hands more often which is better to help prepare yourself for the piece(s) you are about to play. You are also able to do this warm up with either hand and any 3 fingers in order to it isn't only restricted to the use of 3 specific fingers on one hand.
