In this article I will be writing about how you should be playing the piano in a way that is comfortable. When playing the piano you need to have a good posture, this is because you don’t want to be in a slumping position as you’ll no doubt find this uncomfortable.

So what you should be doing is –

  • Keeps your shoulders pulled back, so they should be lowered
  • Put your stool near the piano, so you shouldn’t be slumping or reaching for the keys.

Hand positioning

When pressing the keys on a piano, you need to use the pads of your fingers. So DON’T flatten your fingers as you’ll be slower when it comes to playing notes. So in summary your hands should be in a curl type position.

I’ve done this article as it’s essential that piano beginners know about this, you don’t want to be having soreness or discomfort when playing the piano, so if you’re a piano beginner who’s just starting out then do yourself a favour and do this correctly.

Piano Playing Tips

Piano players love improving their memory so that they can play songs without the score in front of them. In this article I will provide you with tips so that you can improve your memory.

I always recommend this for improvement. – You should firstly play a piece that you can play easily without the score in front of you.

You now need to split it into 7-14 bars so that it’s shortened. Your aim now is to create a section which can be repeated or looped and you need to make sure it sounds reasonable.

While playing your piece, try and look away from the printed score in front of you whenever you feel like you can. Repeat this for as many times as you can until you can do it without thinking, then move onto the next bar.

As you are practicing this, you can put together the bars so that everything flows, have a couple of tries at this, you’ll get there in the end.

Practice this everyday and you’ll soon start to easily improve and before you know it you won’t need that printed score in front you.

Here are some more tips –

• Don’t memorize individual notes, this will hinder you.
• Any bars that you find hard should be memorized beforehand.
• Looping your music will help when learning musical pieces

So there you have it, I tried to keep it as simple as possible for you. By doing this your confidence and progression will increase tenfold, as well as your ability to play piano songs.

Piano Ear Training


Read each note before playing, however you need to get used to not pressing any keys to hear the sound. Memorizing this will improve this aspect of your piano playing significantly; you can try it on when playing C major.

You will then have to move onto trying other keys so that you are learning across the board.
You can make this more fun by getting your friends involved to help you. To do this you can close your eyes and tell your friend to play a key. You will then have to correctly press the right key; there are also many other variations that you could try to make it easier for you.
