(Educational Piano Library). The benefits of warming up sufficiently before practicing have been the subject of various studies in keyboard journals and scientific publications on performance health and medicine. One of the easiest and safest ways to warm up remains to simply perform the activity for a short time period at a lower rate and intensity. Warm-ups included here are relatively short, symmetrical, in progressive difficulty, and based on the physiology of the hand and its proper relation to the keys. A wonderful companion for every player!
