Learn Piano Hand Positioning



The best thing to do to learn piano hand positioning is to see. I've made a little one minute clip of how to position your hands to play the piano.





Basic Points:

~ Pretend that you are holding a bubble in your hand that you don't want to break.
~ Your fingers should be loose - not tense. 
~ Playing on the tips of your fingers.
~Your thumbs should be touching the keys.
~ Your wrists should not be touching the ledge of the piano.
~ keep your arms and shoulders relaxed.
~ Sit on the edge of the piano bench or chair.


It's important to learn hand positioning properly from the beginning. Habits can be hard to break so start with a good foundation and good habits. It will make life easier in the end.

From here, you can begin learning notes or check out the piano playing guide.
