Play or sing extremely fast figures. It does not matter if they sound repetitive or monotonous. The purpose is to “get going” motorically and to use this warming up and as a starting-point in a dynamic way. After this has been well started, you may let lead on in any way, for instance using fantasy and awareness (“what does the music demand from us right now” “now very slow” — “now with a lot of pauses” — etc etc). “Voice Warm-Up” (↓) below and “Instrument-storm” (↓) below use similar strategies. This one makes an even simpler start, because focus is on the motoric action.
