I've been a music teacher for many years, and over the years had great teachers who passed to me invaluable musical information, from harmony to piano technique and all in between. Sometimes I like to post music tips on my blog to share a few golden things I've learned along the way. I hope you'll find it useful and enjoyable. And that you'll give it a try! Please find below 'Technique Tip 1'. For past music tips please scroll my blog's past posts.
Technique Tip 1
If you play the piano, or keyboard, it's very helpful to have a background in classical music technique. But even if you don't, there are some important helpful things that you can learn, and if you practice the correct way you will get better.
One of these essential things is to move your elbows to the sides as your right hand slides to the far right and your left hand to the far left, as if you were gonna take flight. The elbows lead your forearms and hands. With that movement your hands stay in the optimum position to play the keys. Students that don't know this 'detail' tend to move their forearms to the right or left led by the hands and not the elbows. And the end result is that the player loses control of the fingering, precision and beauty. Just be careful so you don't raise your shoulders. Below is the example. Try it!
