How to play piano

Hand Position
Unlike guitarists who use their fingertips to play, a pianist, was supposed to use the pads of your fingers. Get used to not flatten the fingers while playing. This can cause hands and fingers feel tense. In addition it will also slow down the turn tone. So, instead of leveling fingers, it's better to be in a slightly curved hand position and ready for the next note.

If you do not know how to bend the finger, try placing both hands on the knees. How hands on knees curved determine how to position the hand while playing the piano. Remember, the hand should look as if he were holding an orange.

Proper Posture
Spine should be shaped like an "S" while playing the piano. Most beginners tend to slouch back when playing the piano, causing the spine they form a "C". Maintain a bent position causes back pain and neck pain (especially if played in a long time). Sitting on the piano bench is different than sitting in a regular chair. Posture affects how playing the piano and breathing.

To sit at the piano properly, your knees should be slightly below the keyboard. In addition, the legs should also be stable in the soil. Try not to harden the shoulder. Instead, the shoulder must be slack, with elbows slightly higher than the keyboard. Straight but comfortable for the spine, in this way will not experience pain in the lower back when playing for a long time. Note also the head. It takes practice, but in time you will know how to play the piano without having to worry posture.

Piano stool problems
Sometimes the piano bench can also cause problems. Perhaps the position is too high or too low to maintain a stable and comfortable posture. If too high, can adjust the piano bench by adding an extra layer of padding (eg carpet). Now if it is too low, try adding heels to strengthen the feet on the ground. Remember, not only withstand the piano stool weight, should also make it comfortable.

Breathing
Most beginners tend to hold your breath when you start playing the piano. Can not continue to breathe regularly is not good for beginner piano players. If not breathing muscles will tighten. When that happens, it will not slow turnover. It also would make it difficult to learn to sing while playing the piano. So be sure to take a breath in time.

If you still feel pain, always remember to relax. Learning how to play the piano comfortably afford as important as mastering the technical aspects of the instrument. So relax, relax, and breathe. Forward this habit and you can play and enjoy the piano for a long time!
