Part 1 of 5 of "Bench Position, Posture, and Hand Shape." In this video, Charles explains the very simple concept of sitting on the front of the bench, but also walks through why it's important, giving many examples and explanations of how bad bench choices can affect our playing.
Top Takeaways:
► Takeaway #1: The hips are responsible for most of our upper-body mobility at the piano. Sitting at the front edge of the bench allows for full motion.
► Takeaway #2: Resist the temptation to use the right leg for extra support. Extra use of the right leg will prevent us from pedalling the best we can.
► Takeaway #3: Left leg and foot should be mobile and take on the role of anchor or support.
► Takeaway #4: Added weight or pressure on the thigh can reduce the accuracy and sensitivity of our pedalling.
► Takeaway #5: Learning the correct position early will keep you from having to "undo" bad habits later on.
► Takeaway #6: Sitting with an attentive posture leads to more mental engagement and efficient practice.
