1 – Piano Posture: How to Sit at
Piano. Fi*****ng.
If you want to learn to play the piano,
you’re in the right place. You will find free
piano lessons here.
First of all, you will learn how to sit at the
piano (proper piano posture).
Where you put the piano bench and how
you position yourself on the bench is a very
important part of piano playing. By having
the proper posture and position you will be
able to reach the entire keyboard and be
comfortable while practicing or playing.

you how to play. Click here to get your

Sit tall but not stiff. Your feet should be flat
on the floor and your back straight. Your
right foot may be slightly forward especially
for using your piano pedals. Position
yourself forward on the piano bench toward
the piano but make sure you’re
comfortable. You shouldn’t have too much
thigh on the bench. Position yourself at the
center of the piano.
Piano Posture – How to Sit at the Piano
Lean slightly forward. Let your arms hang
loosely from your shoulders. Bench must
face the keyboard squarely. The bench
should be positioned so that your hands are
resting over the keys. Elbows should be
bent and slightly higher than the keys.
Adjust the bench so that your forearms are
parallel with the floor. Knees should be
slightly under the piano keyboard.
Your fingers should be curved. Pretend you
have a bubble in your hand. Be sure to keep
your fingernails reasonably short as well.

The graphic below illustrates the piano
fi*****ng number system. As can be seen,
the thumb is the first finger of each hand.
It is very important to learn finger numbers
because as part of your beginner piano
lessons, you have to learn the proper
fi*****ng for scales, chords, arpeggios and
musical passages. By using the correct
fingers for the correct keys, playing the
piano will be easier. You will be able to
execute new techniques, master awkward
positions, and exercise speed and flexibility.
It is important to get this right from the
start. There are too many piano players
struggling with their playing because they
use the wrong fingers for particular keys.

Fingered piano music marks each note with
a number that corresponds to one of the
five fingers. The numbers 1-5 are written
above or below the notes. These numbers
tell you which finger to press for which key.
Here’s an example below.
