How to Practice Piano
Warm up properly by eHow
Just as an athlete warms up before performing (or practicing), so should you. I play several instruments and I find the following warm up routine effective for all of them.
Wash your hands under warm running water for at least two minutes. I use a drop of dish washing soap to remove excess oil an dirt. Stretch your fingers and thumbs gradually, and work them through their entire range of motion. Massage the muscles in the ball of the thumb and palm.
The warm water stimulates the blood flow, and stretching properly helps avoid injuries. If I pick up an instrument and try to play it cold, it takes a good while before I can do some techniques, where if I do the warm up, it's like I have been playing for half and hour, right from the start.
