Proper Piano Playing Position
It is important to make sure you are playing the piano in
the correct manner or else it will not only affect your piano playing, but may
cause aches or even injuries.
To make sure you are playing the piano in the proper way, you
have to always take note that your body position and structure is correct.
1) Proper Way to Sit
on the Bench
To start off, the proper way to sit on the bench is to sit on
the middle of the bench, with your legs leaning forward of the bench. There
should be nothing beneath your legs. This posture enables your back to be
straightened.
2) Height of the Bench
The bench should be around the height where your hips are the same level or slightly above your knees.
3) Distance between
the Bench and the Piano
The distance between them should not be too far away. It is
important that you can reach the keys in a relax manner rather than stretching
your elbow too much just to play the keys.
4) Position of your
Feet
Your feet should be positioned below or in front of your
knees slightly. This position prevents your body from falling forward as the
position help to support both your feet and legs.
Incorrect position of the feet will cause you not to be able
to move and breathe freely, thus will cause tension when you are playing.
