To play the piano with proper technique, sit on the bench with a straight back, keeping your shoulders relaxed and your feet flat on the floor. Position yourself at the center of the keyboard, about an arm’s length away from the keys. Your elbows should be slightly higher than the keyboard, forming a comfortable angle. Keep your hands relaxed, with your fingers curved naturally like holding a small ball. Play with the pads of your fingers, ensuring even pressure on the keys. Avoid tension in your wrists and let them stay flexible for smooth movement.
