Happy International Jazz Day! Tag someone who needs to hear this version of Für Elise 😊🧡

flowkey’s top 10 tips for playing with confidence this April:

1. Turn off the lights
“Is this the right way to sit?” “Is that the correct fingering?” In the dark, nobody can see your mistakes.

2. Move
There’s only one difference between amateur pianists and professionals – swaying. Erratic movement will not only give your audience a show and distract from any wrong notes, it’s also a great core workout.

3. Let your fingers flow
Struggling to reach the right note in time? Moisturize well, ideally with flowmo™, and your hands will glide across the keys.

5. Give yourself a round of applause
Confidence comes from within. You don’t need to impress an audience – only yourself. So put your hands together.

AD: Sponsored by our skincare partner, flowmo.

Warning: flowmo may cause itching, numbness, dry skin, wet skin, mild finger decay, loss of limbs, hand shrinkage, acid reflux, inability to reach notes, clogged piano keys, existential dread, mild paranoia, pineapple breath, severe overconfidence, fire, delusion, and enthusiastic clapping. Not suitable for pianists.

Chopin, but make it rock? 🤘👀

Sometimes the fun of playing piano is changing the rhythm, shifting the feel, and realizing there is more than one way for a piece to come alive.

Want to learn this piece too? Find “Prelude No. 20 in Cm, Op. 28” by Chopin in the flowkey app 🧡

Every great piano performance starts with a warm-up. Some are just harder to explain than others.

Whether it’s scales, trills, or complete chaos, a good warm-up can help:
🙌 Loosen up your fingers and hands
🎹 Help you settle into the keys before playing
🤩 Improve control, confidence, and reduce sloppy mistakes

What’s your go-to warm-up routine?

What’s your rainy day piano song? ☔️

This is Ravel’s “Pavane for a Dead Princess” (Pavane pour une infante défunte) 🥀🌧️

But don’t worry – no princesses were harmed in the composing of this piece 🙌

Ravel wasn’t inspired by specific person – he was inspired by a place and an era. Many 19th century composers were fascinated by courtly dances from Spain’s Renaissance era, and wrote their own interpretations.

While Ravel wrote his Pavane with an Impressionist twist, he imagined the kind of Spanish princess who would have danced to it back then.
