The importance of good piano posture

Monday, January 30, 2023 | Uncategorized

We all know it's important to develop a good playing technique, but how many people realise it can be really hard to do that if you're not sitting well at your piano?

First of all, think about your piano bench and whether it is set up correctly for you. Are you sitting the correct distance from the keyboard, at the correct height, and with your feet planted well on the floor? You need to be stable if you are going to be able to move your hands and arms across the full range of the instrument with confidence! Footstools are a must for younger students who aren't yet big enough to reach the floor.

In lessons we cover all aspects of posture, with handouts to take home with you, and personal advice about how you have your instrument set up at home. All to make sure you get off to the right start!
