Improper hand technique can give you stiff fingers and limit your dexterity even away from the keyboard. Bad seat positioning or posture can cause pain or discomfort in the shoulders, neck and back. Incorrect technique makes playing more difficult, tiring, and it can put unnecessary strain on your body. It’s not just about making good playing better. Get it right and you can play with expression and a vast dynamic range. Correct sitting position and posture will allow you to translate energy from your entire body to the fingertips.

Everything from the way you sit to how you drop your fingers onto the keyboard will affect the sound of the piano. Playing with proper piano technique is not just about pushing the right keys.
