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.
