🍃

efficient and safe body position while playing piano.

to keep in check

  1. arms
  2. wrists
  3. fingers
  4. posture (not shrimp pls)
  5. height of piano vs stool
  6. distance from piano

3. fingers / hand

  • trim yo nails!!
  • work with muscle tension, 🔖 like when you’ve been learning playing drums)
    • attack –> release –> [repeat]
  • thumb is ~45° angle (thumb perch)
  • do not put extra pressure on key and the joint (when there is no point in it - max sound is already here)

🔖 spider exercise (🕷️)

closed fist (on a flat surface) –> opening –> checking its stability –> recreating at the paino keys

finger contact point

contact point is the fingertip (not the whole last joint)

  • check it with making a “circle” OK sign with each finger
  • for thumb: its corner
