From the way your fingers touch the keys to your sitting posture, it will affect the sound of the piano. The correct posture can make it easier for the whole body&#039;s strength to be transferred to the fingertips, and have better musicality when interpreting music; the wrong posture can make playing more difficult and even lead to permanent injury.<\/p>\n<p>This article covers all aspects of correct playing posture. You can review this article from time to time to correct and adjust your posture when practicing.<\/p>\n<h1>1. Sitting posture<\/h1>\n<p>1. Keep your back straight and your shoulders relaxed.<br \/>\nSit about 1\/3 to halfway up the piano chair,<br \/>\nIn this way, it will be easier for the whole body&#039;s strength to be concentrated on the hands instead of the back when playing the piano.<\/p>\n<p>2. Both feet should be able to touch the ground.<br \/>\nIf the children at home cannot step on the ground, they can step on a small stool; if there is a need to step on the pedals, a piano auxiliary pedal (Piano Pedal Extender) will be a better choice, which can solve the problem of children not being able to step on the pedals.<\/p>\n<h1>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-65 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/musicsteven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/51uEOnKAETL._AC_SX425_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"322\" height=\"258\" srcset=\"https:\/\/musicsteven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/51uEOnKAETL._AC_SX425_.jpg 425w, https:\/\/musicsteven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/51uEOnKAETL._AC_SX425_-300x240.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 322px) 100vw, 322px\" \/><\/h1>\n<h1><\/h1>\n<h1><\/h1>\n<h1><\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1>2.
