Practice Notes 33: Warm-Up Exercises That Are Fun to Play
Today's video includes a variety of warmup exercises, including:
-ii/V/I modified Chopin Op. 10 No. 1 exercises (comes from my book of Modified Chopin Exercises, which is part of my Piano Intensive Video Course)
-chromatic scale with fingers 1+2 or 3+4+5
-pairs of alternate fingers
-basic scales and arpeggios
**correction: for the first exercise, the pitches in the (V) chord are as follows: ROOT/b7-3-b7-9. So in C Major, those are G/F-B-F-A.

I usually like to start my practice sessions with at least 5-10 minutes of warmups. The ones I enjoy are either fun to play or easy to remember (better to be both). They constantly change every few weeks or months or so based on what I am working on, what I come up with, or what sticks with me. For the longest time, I only played the scales and arpeggios that I show in the video, until I got bored of them. They're still pretty fun to play for me, though, and they come in handy.
Some of these might be hard to follow, since the video moves fast and I do not include any sheet music references. I did preferred it that way because I remember these exercises based on the geometry of notes and/or harmonic characters. Hopefully you can take from this one or a few exercises that you might incorporate into your practice.

As always, thank you so much for watching, and thank you to all of you that leave comments.
I think I'm gonna need some warm-up exercises to be able to to do these warm-up exercises.
Craig Wouah !! It's so beautiful ! I will do the same 😍
Lol, nice one, seems like some one didn't get the joke quite yet
Yeah, like, the 'twenty years of piano training' kind of warming-up exercise :-)
xd same
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
warm up for you. masterclass for me
Min literally... how long has she been playing?
man.. same
Same😫
You can do it in just one octave.
Dan G It’s just not the same man
If I played this at school, everyone would be like “wow, that was so good”, I’d be like, that was my warm up.
Aye best comment so far for me LMAO 😂😂
😂
This is goals for me
B- Rizzle Don’t remind him. Poor guy.
😂😂
This may actually be my favorite video on the internet right now. I've been looking for interesting warm-ups and I'm really glad RUclips has kept your channel in my recommended feed
Well hello there
Didn't expect to see you here 😂
Me too.
lol Daniel can you even play chopin
@@agamaz5650 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
When you got people who make music sounds like exercices... and people who make exercices sound like music.
Daniel Hadida preach
That's the exact idea behind an étude. It comes from French and literally means "study". They're pieces designed to help you perfect your technique that were also written to sound like beautiful music in its own right! With the added benefit of being much, much less boring. The video even says some of these ideas were taken from Chopin's études.
Of course, the pianist in this video is incredible and is showing what these would look like at high speed. It's best to play them as fast as you can *without making any mistakes* and preferably with a metronome (maybe not all the time, but definitely not never either). If you try to blow through exercises like this at too fast a tempo you'll actually have the opposite effect and ruin your technique, becoming very sloppy and probably also hitting many wrong notes. If you get it down slowly into your "muscle memory", then when you do it faster you don't have to focus on every movement so much because you already know basically how it goes. That way you break it up into periods of learning the actual exercise/technique and then using it to improve your dexterity. It's probably best to think about your dynamics the whole time, though. I don't know, I'm not a piano teacher or anything. I'm just saying that this video basically captures the purpose of an étude, and does so very nicely if I may say so myself

I heard an amazing story during a piano teaching course first half of last year; Busoni was at an evening meal of friends/acquaintances and was asked to play by several of the guests. Apparently he was never keen on providing impromptu entertainment but was eventually persuaded to sit at the piano and he proceeded to play what was described as the most divine and heavenly rendition of scales and arpeggios and his audience was reportedly suitably transfixed. The lesson: approach every note with a sense of love.
Yes! Like Chopin etudes ❤
I Didn’t know warm up exercises could be mesmerizing to watch.
Wow thank you so much!! Quite the compliment ❤🙏
Finyl Faze Music ga
0:32 somehow the simplicity of the melody but the complexity of the progression makes for an insanely beautiful 20 seconds of music
the right hand playing over the piano like that sounds very harp like, it's ++evocative
Yeah she used chopin's waterfall etude and slightly altered it
@@p-y8210 Yep, great etude to practice playing slowly, even if you can't play it fast, it builds dextarity
I need sheet music to understand the progression. I don't think I learnt that far in music theory.
0:32 - it's like Chopin's Waterfall etude, but for jazz
Árpád Goretity that’s part the waterfall etude I believe. Or part of it is part of the waterfall etude.
0:22 look at top right dudes
Its not part of that etude, i can play that one. But it does sound beautiful a
Dat Nguyen oh wait, its different parts of the etude mashed together, nvm
@@karebu3924 it is not part of the etude which makes it even more mesmerizing to watch/
You are terrifyingly good.
Bill Gunawan ahhh I'm no so sure but thanks!!
Nahre Sol What do you mean you’re not so sure?
You totally are 😂
Nahre Sol
Very good technique specially in the arpegios like 1rst study of Chopin 👏
@@NahreSol Was that supposed to be a joke
Oh jeez, please do not stop making these videos. These are gold. Thank you for breaking down your process so clearly and sharing with the world.
suture Thank YOU!! Your comment really made my day :)))
Well, the comment is so good, but, these are gold is kinda 😂😂😂
Yaaa that helped alot overnight my playing has improved 10 folds
🖒x100
Your warm ups are just some chopin's etude
*chopin crying under the ground*
Preach
etudes are kind of meant to be warmups.
*little part of a Etude
藤岡千恵 yea
"etude" means exercise. Chopin named them "exercise" pieces.
0:32 everyone's dream as a pianist.
I'm pretty sure that was the coolest practice session I've ever seen.
Those HANDS!!!!!also love the sheet music laying on the floor
Don't forget the cat!
Hand fetish
Let’s not forget the dog pacing back and forth
0:30 This progression of chords was GORGEOUS. Someone should make a song with those ASAP ❤
it already is. it's called all of jazz.
Look in the top right corner
You're gonna love the bridge of Cherokee.
I think chopin played something like this hundreds of years ago
Nahre already did!
I just wish you knew how much you have inspired me. I'm a classical pianist myself and have been working on building back my repertoire; Rach, Bach, Haydn, and Schubert, Chopin. It's lonely and no one is here to express myself to. But your voice and vision pinpoint exactly what is human and sublime about music. Your integrity and discipline makes me want to be a more spiritually well-rounded musician and human being. Just know that you have changed me. Thank you, Nahre. You bring me closer to what I love and hope for.
Hello Mark, it's so nice to read this from you, thank you for taking the time to write that. It brings me a lot of joy to hear that I made a difference through these videos. Have a lovely day!
*_WARM-UP?!?!?!?_*
Yeah i was following along, teaching myself the first little warm-up, than at 0:30 seconds in you go off like its nothing and i just lost it hahaha. Amazing.
MrChaluliss same, hahaha, I tried and failed my dog started barking 😂🤣
MrChaluliss h
Thank you so much!! I’m finally getting into advanced piano and I’m bored to death of of normal scales, arpeggios and broken chords after 12 years of playing them. Finally something new and refreshing!
if you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly.
Sneakyy heyyy two set😀
I read that in the voice subconsciously oh my god that caught me off guard
I see you're a man of culture as well, Sneakyy.
Sneakyy why hello there fellow twosetter
Two years after graduating and my band directors words are still fucking following me around.
And here I thought I had decent technique and form after 10+years. This short condensed video has shown me there’s still Soooo much room for improvement, and that I could use more formal education from established musicians. Wow! This was gold for me! Im Subbed 😊
Is no one going to talk about that cute dog underneath the piano 🥺
0:32 your hand reminds me of that lizard that can run on the surface of water (The green basilisk lizard)
Wow, I would be incredibly grateful if you did a slow break down of these warmups. I've been doing simple warm ups and have noticed a great change in my playing. You how ever are awesome!
I am so happy i found your channel. I am self taught. Making 2 years this month since i started playing piano. I know my theory and all that. But i have a hard time figuring out excersices to build dexterity between my two hands. My left hand is just jello compared to my right hand lol. I feel like these exercises will help me so much.
Jaime Johnson well buy a Hanon book it is filled with exercises that are essential, you've probably heard of Hanon if you've been playing piano for a while
Jaime Johnson Bach’s small preludes and fugues are the main reason my left hand is par with my right when I play, I’d recommend those for building co-dominance with the hands of you haven’t tried them, they’re really fun. I use Hanon too but it’s hard not to fall asleep while going through it
Speed and techniques are just the matter of practicing, self taught learners hv to beware of proper gesture and fingering so that ur hands wont get hurt, advice by me, also a self taught learner, cheers
play jazz? will make your left hand stronger with chords
Try some hanon maybe two at a time and play them in between pieces and before you play as a warm up. Try to go for fast and togetherness
Warm-Up Exercises That Are Fun to Play * after you've mastered Chopin etudes
Had to watch 3-4 times, just to get my eyes of the lovely Dog. Thanks for the video!
2:10 the puppyyy
wNNdSharK if animal likes the music you know you goood
0:32 That’s my new Ringtone😯
Me before: 0:31 "Ah, this seems like a nice and relaxing warm-up!"
Me after: 0:31 *OOF*
The first warmup is gorgeous
Arpeggios are a favourite warm up for me as well as having a couple of choice pieces. But I’ll never be able to play so quickly.
Can you make a tutorial on 0:32? I don't understand these root things and the letters? Please? I love it!
Ian Soede aightt, uh yeah, kind of didn’t understand anything here neither but whatever..
Ian Soede thank you so much! now I understand! I appreciate that!
@@iansoede874 you a real one for that
Chopin's etude op. 10 no. 1 waterfall sound pretty similar
Seems like I’m the only one who actually loves all the Hanon exercises and finds them not only helpful but interesting to play... XD
Melon Mistral hanon exercises help you with improv like crazy. 😊😊😊😊 especially when you learn them in all keys.
You are an absolute beast on the piano! You call this warm-up? Say no more. I’m already impressed
1:36 i've been playing piano for 12 years and this exercise fried my brain when trying it
Hi dear Nahre Sol, Rick Beato brought me her. You are extremly great at piano. Really oustanding. I like all your practicing Clips. You deserve definitely more followers. Thank you so much.Greetings from Germany
... and I subscribed of course :-)
nupfe Hi!! Wow thank you for the comment, I really appreciate it. And that is so cool, Rick is the best!!
Nahre, that's just beautiful. And that little doggie is a very lucky individual! :)
Thank you!! And I am the lucky one to be with my dog :))
i couldnt close my mouth throughout the video... i didnt realise it was open in the first place. u give me hope so thank you
I'll have to rewatch the video again. I was too busy enjoying the music and looking at the dog x)
very nice. some of them also sounds like Chopin's etude :D
That moment when the warm up is harder than the song you want to play
Please do not stop these videos, the creativity of it is beyond indescribable. Also, I loved the beginning exercise, the use of the different chords it sounds quite similar to the chopin etude op 10 no 1, in my eyes even better. Good job keep it up.
Your grace on the keys is amazing
Hei dear Nahre,
Thx for those great ideas! I found a mistake though in the ii-V-I Arpeggios in the V Chord. You showed it as F-B-D-A in the right hand but in the Arpeggio downwards you actually played F-B-F-A, so doubled the 7 and no 5. It feels easier to play like this, but I am not sure about the doubled 7. I am not nitpicking, I was honestly just confused which version to play. Maybe you can help me clearing it up, thx.
All the best
I wanted to ask the same.
I also wanted to ask the same lol
She double the 7th note when she modulates in Bb major so i guess we should play the version with two 7th
Thank you I was looking for this comment to make sure I wasn’t seeing things. I think it sounds better the way she was playing it with the extra 7
Yeah I was wondering the same, like, why show b7-3-5-9 then? And then she just went off hahaha, I've been pausing squinting my eyes trying to see which notes she was playing for a little over 10 mins now 🤣 Really great exercise but got a little lost because of that.
0:33 chopin’s waterfall crossover with II-V-I practice routine...
Pd: thanks this warm up is awesome!
Your dog is sooo lucky to be listening to great quality music....
The scales at the end sound magical
Well, you just composed Chopin Etudes v2! (Op.25 No.12)
those hands
are faster than my internet
I can't even imagine how breathtaking your performances are if that was just a warm-up.
Subscribing to your channel has been one of the best things I've done in a while
Nahre Sol: "this is just some warming up"
Me: i call that flexing
Dang, how the hell could these exercises sound so good! I could play the first one all day. It's like a jazz improv but it works your fingers too. (my teacher makes me do Hanon at 10bpm lol I'd so rather do this)
I like to comment on your vids but you reply to everything so I hope you don't spend too much time on reading comments! Please use your energy on awesome music!
Andy Tingan Yang she makes you do it at 10 bpm ?????
@@rmsvideos1335 ha not exactly. he does 1/4 of the actual speed so that would be around quarter note = 15 with each note being a 16th. anyway, it has its merits, but i honestly don't love doing it. good for building patience
omg, I've been playing piano for over a decade. Your amazing channel has shown me that there's still a ton of amazing things to learn.
Love the "ripples" starting at 0.32
scary talent OMG! OMG!! OH MY.............. O_O!!!!!
Fernando Kähs Anyone can do it with some practice!! But thanks!! ❤❤❤
@@NahreSol Hope you're right, im 25 and hope it's not too late for me too start! Some say to be as good as you one would have to start practicing since they were a child..
Roberto Esquivel I started piano 2 years ago and I can already do these exercises at very fast speeds, you just have to believe in yourself and tell yourself that you can do it. After 2 years I'm already playing Chopins Ocean Etude And Liszt Liebestraum No. 3 and Un Sospiro. You just have to practice.
@@violeta.s.v How did you learn? I started about 16 months ago and have definitely practiced wrong (not really training each section but going from start to finish) and am trying to fix that now, yet still got good results (“repertoire“ of only few songs but “hard“ for my time). Currently struggeling with rachmaninov's cis minor prelude and slowly getting the hang of it (after not injuring my hands anymore -.-). You're pretty much exactly where i want to be after 2 years of experience so i would like to know how you practiced
It'se me, well I practiced just like every pianist, I learned my scales, arpeggios, sixths, thirds and other techniques on the piano, I would practice for 4 hours a day. Non-stop. I didn't miss a single day of practice. I started to practice for 6 hours on the 7th day of playing piano. That's how it came to be. I don't really know how I got good at the piano that fast. Maybe I'm just a fast learner I don't know. I'm currently learning 2 Chopin etudes (Op. 10 No. 1 In C Major, Op. 25. No. 1 In A Flat Major) which they are both an ARCT level for the Royal Conservatory Of Music (I don't go there but I wish I did), and I'm also learning 2 EXTREMELY DIFFICULT Alkan pieces (Concert Etude In B-Flat Major "Le Preux", Scherzo-Focoso)
But all I did was practice, and the other thing is, I didn't go to a single music school. My parents thought about it but they couldn't afford it. So I learned at home, by myself. Also since I practiced so much without a break, that managed to stretch out my fingers and hand span, I now I can reach an 11th (C To F, not a 4th) comfortably. I'm 13 btw.
somehow i love the @0:32 part
Oh Nahre, those little hands flying on the keys... 0:31... 2:12... you make excercises sound epic, thank you
love the dog beneath... and the great piano teaching of course !
"warm up"
*Plays chopin etude op 10 no 1*
😂😂😂
PianoKouhai【ピアノ後輩】 etudes are basically warm ups tho
@@ludwig4029 well actually yes. Every etude has one particular exercise on it
How spiders be like when you put them in a cup
The music sheets spilled on the floor and this beautiful living room type piano playing is my aesthetic
that 2-5-1 exercise blew my mind, starting to learn jazz and i'm gonna use that every time i practice
Well, your “warm up” for me means 10 more years exercising. I’m learning and only 1 month.
The ii-V-I jazz arppegios sound like a Tyler the creator song.
Nahre just casually forms these Sparkling oceans of melodies. Way to go Nahre!
Oh those warm-up excercises are easy... easy to watch
Awesome! Bye bye Hannon hello Nahre Sol!
😂😂😂 thanks 🙏
Could someone write me the notes for the exercise at 0:32? Would really appreciate it
Seems like these are not exercises but whole complete compositions! It’s enchantingly beautiful! Thank you Nahre! Love and respect!
Thank you!! 😊🙏
I love the kitty under her piano. My kitty always comes to listen to me play.
sylvestercoffee its a dog
Oops !! Ok my mistake. Well I love that her dog is under the piano while she practices!! My dog sits in the next room and watches me and guards the house while I'm practicing.
Animals and music😍
@@sylvestercoffee7212 good for you!I wish I had dog.
You had alien tentacles when doing the contrary chromatic! I'm now concerned.
Actually it would be very helpful if I had alien tentacles...
Nahre Sol maybe, luckily you did get the beauty and intelligence.
I'm sorry, that was inappropriate.
Thanks for the compliments and comments!! :))
So Chopin’s etudes are warm ups??
Etudes means exercise
Christian Dangalan Oh REaLlY?! ThANkS!!
Christian Dangalan, actually they mean “studies” in French
How am I just seeing this now?? The progressions you did at the beginning were absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for posting this it was fun to hear how pianists do their thang :)
Whoa! Incredibly creative!! Thank you for inspiring others like me to not merely practice, but creatively practice. There are an infinite possibilities. Could watch these warm-ups all day!!
Me : I think I'm gonna this warm up
Also me : maybe piano is not for me
Wait a second
I play trumpet
Dear Nahre Sol, you are incredible pianist. Thank you!
Perfect to play Chopin
Should’ve titled “expert warm ups”
Excuse me I thought these were supposed to be fun to play not medieval torture
*0/10 but will watch again* 👍🏼
That's really amazing with your waterfall etude. The recordings are really clear. Simply love this tutorial
From 00:31 to 00:50 similar to chopin etude 10-1 notes geometry ... 10th and 11th sequences. What wonderful sounds this kind of notes structure creates ...
90% of this was above anything I was ever capable of playing but sure, if you wanna call it warmup :D
Just kidding obviously we're just on different levels x)
Lunatic _ you're supposed to know how to type 200 words per minute, with this dexterity it can't be that hard to learn piano :)
Nice reference. I love that anime too.
In 1:00 your hands look like a crab :D
lmao
This is the kind of stuff that inspires me to challenge myself in many ways, very positively influential on my musical learning process. As a young musician this is, in my opinion, some of THE best content on RUclips.
Thank you for posting this!!👌
I cant even play c minor 1 octave without fing it up lmao HOW
My hands got tired from watching this :(
I'll come back to this video for practice in a couple of years once i get good at piano
i really love watching these warm up exercises
D: From what planet are you?
The most fun warm-up session I've seen so far
I actually saw your video long ago but finally tried your warmup exercises out today! It makes warmup so much more fun! Thank you:)
Hi Nahre Sol, I wish you a happy bright New Year! Give your cute little dog a hug 😊
Love from Hannes, Germany 👍😉❤️
I could listen to the ii V I exercise all day
Honestly I'd love to listen to just these warmup exercises in a Glass-ian sort of way
Holy shit the first warm up was beautiful, I love classical but this broadened my range of things I love in music.
Absolutely marvelous!
You are simply brilliant!
I literally started learning this piece yesterday (Op. 10, No. 1)
