Ah, the 5-minute warm-up. If you use it correctly, you will sound like a genius before rehearsal, auditions, or a performance. It will also make you sound like a million bucks while playing your pieces.
In addition to using it as described above, you use this because you are freaking out because you have to finish learning a piece by next week and you’re not even close. You don’t have time to go through the regular warm-ups, but you know that warming up will make you play better. I call this the time crunch purpose.
The 5-minute warm-up touches all the points that you do in your normal warm-up – tone, scales, and technique. You only play through them, you don’t work on them.
Here is an example of what you can do for each of the instruments that I teach.
Piano
Find the key signatures that you’re playing in your pieces of music. In those Major or minor keys, play each of these below:
Scales
Chords
Cadences
Arpeggios
If you have time, do all 12 Majors and/or minors.
Do whatever you can to the best of your abilities. If you only know how to do a root position chord, that’s what you do. If you’re normally doing 3 octave scales, that’s what you do.
Flute
- Long Tones – lower register
- A Beautiful Tune – It should be memorized in the middle register, and maybe stretches up to the upper register.
- 12 Major or minor Scales and Arpeggios – if you’re really crunched for time, just do the keys that you’re playing later.
- Harmonics or Octave Jumps – don’t be a perfectionist about these. If you can’t hit that last harmonic, don’t try to pick it up. Just keep going.
Do this to the best of your abilities. If you are at the first step of good tone and learning how to get a good B natural, that’s what you do. If you like to do T&G exercise #1, memorized, for your scales, that’s what you do.
Fear and Awe
A good 5-minute warm-up can strike fear or awe in the hearts of everyone around you. I once saw Arturo Sandoval (famous trumpet player) do his. He did long tones, then When You Wish Upon A Star in 3 octaves. Everyone’s jaw dropped.
What’s your favorite 5-minute warm-up?
