Correct Posture When Playing Keyboard

Correct and Wrong Piano Playing Posture



This picture above shows how you should sit at a piano when playing for long hours so you dont cause strain or hurt yourself depending on the positionin of your wrist you could get RSI which is strain in your wrist. Also if you are not sat correctly you could cause a block of energy there are two main causes of this psychological and physical. The psychological one is harder to remove, being a result of anxiety, stress and insecurity. The physical one (besides being directly linked to our state of mind) is the result of an incorrect posture and tensed muscles. The straight back gives the pianist dignity and self confidence, relaxted shoulders lets the energy flow easier and straight relaxed wrist for example
