Here are two good reasons why. First you need to stretch and release muscles throughout your body from standing positions and floor positions. These stretching exercises will help you develop a routine of feeling loose and comfortable when you go to the piano. Plus, because you can do these warm-ups anywhere and anytime, you can start before you get to your piano.<\/p><p>Fundamental to music making is the basic pattern of tension and release. This is both in the physical process of playing and in the music itself. Everyone knows that playing the piano involves a wide range of movement. From pressing down a key with your fingertip to using your entire upper body in playing scales, arpeggios, and chords and then throw in in pedaling and voila! You\u2019re using your whole body.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4e9c71f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4e9c71f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a77d6bd\" data-id=\"a77d6bd\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f0b78f6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f0b78f6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jazerleepiano.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pexels-karolina-grabowska-4498240-585x585.jpg\" title=\"pexels-karolina-grabowska-4498240\" alt=\"pexels-karolina-grabowska-4498240\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-39bf7c5 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"39bf7c5\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cde44a0\" data-id=\"cde44a0\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8c8470e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8c8470e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>And because piano playing requires so much mental participation along with this physical movement, it\u2019s easy to overlook the buildup of tension. When you find yourself tensing in the neck, forearms, and jaw; hunching in the shoulders; and locking the joints in the fingers, you are coiled up like a spring and exhibit tension in key areas. It is best to stretch and release this at the same time relaxing one\u2019s muscles. All bodily movements on the require muscle flexion, extension, and rotation. This movement is enhanced by a fluid, relaxed approach that\u2019s unhindered by excess tension in your body.<\/p><p><strong>SOME WARM UP TECHNIQUES<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f78e38d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f78e38d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a71e174\" data-id=\"a71e174\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-242bc6e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"242bc6e\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-386a5ce\" data-id=\"386a5ce\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-290688a elementor-position-right elementor-vertical-align-top elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"290688a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" src=\"https:\/\/jazerleepiano.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pexels-vlada-karpovich-4534858-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-26071\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jazerleepiano.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pexels-vlada-karpovich-4534858-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/jazerleepiano.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pexels-vlada-karpovich-4534858-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jazerleepiano.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pexels-vlada-karpovich-4534858-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/jazerleepiano.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pexels-vlada-karpovich-4534858-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/jazerleepiano.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pexels-vlada-karpovich-4534858-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/jazerleepiano.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pexels-vlada-karpovich-4534858-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/jazerleepiano.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pexels-vlada-karpovich-4534858-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/jazerleepiano.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pexels-vlada-karpovich-4534858-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/jazerleepiano.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pexels-vlada-karpovich-4534858-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/jazerleepiano.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pexels-vlada-karpovich-4534858-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h3 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\">CIRCULAR BREATHING<\/h3><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">Breathing is the model for fluid motion.
