WARM UP FOR MUSICIANS: 1. BODY

It's March - warm up time! This month I'll be making four videos of warm ups: BODY, breathing/air, fingers and tongue. You can do the warm ups along with me in this video!
As a musician it's so important to warm up physically before you practice. This not only helps prevent physical problems, but aids concentration and gets you in the right frame of mind. Not only is the recorder our instrument, but our bodies too!
- disclaimer: I'm not a trained professional sports person, I'm a musician! So if anything feels bad-weird or hurts, please stop. Also, if you have nice stretches you like to use, please let me know about it in the comments! --

Those are exactly the same exercises my choir instructor used to do with us, but I forgot all about them, so it's great to see you do them and remember them. I'll try to use them again, they are really helpful! Another exercise he did with us was "picking apples", where you stretch one of your arms and the fingers by reaching for high hanging, invisible apples, while lifting the heel of the foot opposite to the arm.

I also really enjoy adding the yoga eagle pose to this! I feel like it rounds out the shoulder stretching. :) Thank you! This is very helpful. I think an update on how you manage practice and music and being a mother would be very helpful! I find it's extremely difficult to find time to practice at all, let alone warm up, with my 3 yr old running around.

Hello Sarah, I want to thank you for this video. I'm a semi-professional musician and didn't warm up until I met you on KZbin. I simply didn't know what to do ! You're great, and I love your humour too ! I wish you the best !

+Laura Riley That's a great idea! The next video (should be online tomorrow) will be about how to warm up air and breathing, so that should help a lot too :)
