Both hands use the same finger numbering: the thumb is finger number 1, the index finger is number 2, the middle finger is number 3, the ring finger number 4 and the little finger is finger number 5.įrom now on, I will use only the finger numbers and not any more the finger names. It is important to use the right finger positions in order to be able to link the consecutive notes in a melody nicely together. Step 4: Learn the numbers of your fingers Your hands and fingers should be curved as if you would hold a tennis ball. Place your knees slightly under the keyboard and keep your feet flat on the ground near or on the pedals.Īnd, most important: relax! Relax your muscles, relax your body and your shoulders. To achieve this, adjust the height of the bench. When sitting in front of the piano, your arms should be horizontal (your elbow should be at the same height as the keyboard, or eventually a little bit higher).

In my article “ How to choose the best piano keyboard 2017 – Top 9 digital pianos” you can find much more information and tips for when you are looking for a suitable piano.Īpart from a piano, you will need two more things: So, to conclude: to learn to play the piano, acquire either an acoustic piano, or an electronic keyboard that is at least semi-weighted, but better is a keyboard with hammer action. To learn the piano, it’s not a good idea to buy an electronic keyboard that is not weighted, as it misses this feeling of a real piano. Graded hammer action keys (this is the best, but most expensive solution).Semi-weighted keyboards (this is the most simple and cheapest solution).There are several techniques to simulate this: In better keyboards, this ‘piano feeling’ is simulated. This causes a resistance when playing the key, and this is the ‘piano feeling’. The hammer is connected by a lever system to the key.
What I mean is the following: in a piano, a hammer strikes one, two or three strings.
In this context, it’s important to realize that a lot of electronic keyboards (especially the cheaper ones) don’t have a real ‘piano feeling’. The first question that may arise is: what is better, an acoustic piano or an electronic keyboard? When this seems obvious, it’s perhaps less obvious what kind of piano to choose (if you don’t already have one). If you want to learn to play piano, you need, well…a piano!
