About this exposition

Let's Tune in ! - Accordons-Nous ! This research explores the development of a holistic and personalized warm-up routine designed to help musicians reach an optimal state for efficient practice and performance. By integrating the body, mind, and emotions, the aim of a good warmup is to improve musical engagement and connection, while reducing the risk of injury and burnout. To create these tailored warm-up routines, interviews were conducted with health and well-being experts specializing in both physical and mental health. Additionally, a two-round warm-up trial was carried out with seven volunteer students. The results indicate that dedicating daily time to connect with one’s body, mind, and emotions significantly enhances practice quality, musical connection, and self-awareness. Moreover, it contributes to injury prevention and empowers students to develop a deeper understanding and awareness of their physical, emotional and mental state. Given the high incidence of injuries and burnout among young professional musicians, it is crucial to develop and share practical solutions that promote long-term well-being. By introducing these habits from an early stage in music education, we could create a foundation for healthier, more effective, and more fulfilling musical growth.
