I listen to music while driving to church since my ride takes forever to reach. Most times I listen to Marvia Providence or upbeat songs like dat before goin on stage. I don't listen to slow songs before church too often even though I'll most likely be playing to a slow song to start off the service.

God Bless.

Actually before I even leave for church I sit down for like 20 minutes and play the piano. That usually warms my hands enough to get on the set at church. If I still feel tight I'll go somewhere by myself at church and practice some rudiments and get some strectching in.

Pray and thank GOD for your the strength to even lift your arms that's first and foremost. Practice any rudiment you know until your wrist are literally burning it loosens you up quite a bit.

paradiddles and flamadiddles usually get me loosened up the most before I play. It is good to do singles and then doubles.
