Tagged with 'Warm-Up'

The education and training of a musician mainly focusses on working with the instrument. It is often forgotten, however, that playing a musical instrument requires certain physical abilities. We take it for granted that we have the strength to hold it and that we are able to play for hours. Only when health issues arise like tenseness, overstraining or pain, do we realise the high performance we demand from our musculoskeletal system. Warming up should therefore be a fixture in our practising routine.
