Warming up hands without using the piano (for performance)
on: May 10, 2016, 03:07:22 AM
What are some good ways to earn up the fingers without actually playing the piano? I have a performance tomorrow and I don't play particularly well if I just sit down and play something without warming up, and it's not like I could just sit down in front of everyone and play a few scales or something before I play. So what are some good ways to warm up the fingers without actually playing?

a regular physical exercise like putting your hands together and making wrist circles in both ways and bending your fingers on the second hand's palm? Or just "playing" on your desk?

you can buy those hot hands packs and use those

or you can step into restroom and run hot water over hands
and or you can also use a drill like this

Thanks for the replies. I made sure
My fingers were warmed up and I played it even better than I normally do in practice 😊
