🎹5 piano warm-up tips🎹  1. Play the Hanon Exercises - These exercises, titled The Virtuoso Pianist by Charles-Louis Hanon, is a compilation of sixty exercises meant to train the pianist in speed, precision, agility, and strength of all of the fingers and flexibility in the wrists.  2. Scales with rhythm - There is no greater tool when it comes to familiarizing yourself with key signatures! You can change up the routine of your scales by experimenting with different rhythms as you play.  3. Improv chords - Start with a chord progression, play through it a few times, and let your fingers do the rest! Channel your knowledge of the key signature you’re in, modes, pentatonic scales–whatever comes to mind.  4. SIghtread a new piece - Sightreading is a great exercise for pianists as it helps with hand-eye coordination, widening your musical diversity and knowledge of music theory.  5. Dig out an old piece - it’s always fun to dig out pieces from the past, so why not use one for a warm up? Ideally, you will want to warm up for 5-10 minutes, so you could even play two or three pieces! Warming up with an old piece also promotes muscle memory so you’re sure to never forget it.
