How to warm up every day

  • Start with the range test: you learn your lowest and highest notes and your voice type, and the exercises adapt to you.
  • Scales and arpeggios with piano warm up the voice: each repetition is a semitone higher and the notes are on screen.
  • Pitch matching trains your ear: the piano plays a note and you find it with your voice.
  • The long note builds breath support: hold the sound as steadily and as long as you can.

Five minutes every day give more than an hour once a week.

Frequently asked questions

Why warm up before singing?

A warm-up prepares the vocal folds and breathing muscles: the voice sounds freer, high notes come easier and you are less likely to strain your voice.

How long should a warm-up be?

5–10 minutes before singing is enough: a couple of scales, an arpeggio and a long note.
