                  Why hand structure is so important 03/20/2010

                  I'm not a stickler for many things.  Yet the one thing that I constantly make sure that my students execute to the T is their fingering and hand positioning. 

                  I personally believe that correct hand positioning while playing the piano creates a more well rounded musician as a whole.  If you have your fingering correct,  it makes it easier for the musician to transition from key to key.  If you are able to have a smoother transition between sequences of keys, it will build your confidence as well. 

                  I have seen great improvement with my students because of this constant awareness.  If the student is sight reading, they can easily become intimidated because they feel overwhelmed by where to go after playing a certain note on the grand staff.  If their hands are where they need to be on the keyboard, it allows the student to have ease of access by giving them more control over the keys. 

                  This is why I am a stickler about hand positioning!  As the student learns and progresses, they are able to be confident in knowing that they are the master of the keyboard because they are the master of their fingers.
