Hand Watch!

Nelli has graciously allowed us to use her hand to demonstrate the correct way to hold your hand and thumb while playing the piano. Too many Mile High Music Makers are playing with a flat thumb and this can really hurt your ability to play pieces with ease. You will be really surprised at how your tone improves just by clearing up those technique issues. We want a rich tone when we play and we really want our arpeggios to sound clear and clean.

Technique is the correct use of your "tools" meaning your hands. When your hands are in the proper position, you can play anything with ease. Watch those thumbs, pianists. They are really important!
