How do I sit correctly?

The ergonomic importance of correct posture when making music cannot be overestimated. Drummers know the importance of correct sitting posture and wind instrument players know that a hunched back posture restricts breathing and therefore severely impairs the ability to produce clear and powerful tones. The same applies to guitarists, for whom a precise hand position is essential to prevent fatigue and cramps in the arms and hands. But what about pianists? When playing the piano, an optimal sitting position is crucial to avoid tension and to fully enjoy the musical expression. A stretched, upright and relaxed posture is essential for this. The key to such a posture lies in the use of a high-quality piano stool. This piece of furniture not only impresses with its comfortable upholstery, but also offers the option of individually adjusting the seat height. This means that every pianist can find the ideal position for them. A good piano stool not only improves ergonomics when playing, but also enhances the pleasure and performance of the instrument. It is an indispensable accessory that strengthens the connection between musician and instrument and contributes to a harmonious and effective music-making practice.

How it works:

Adjust your piano stool so that you can adopt a comfortable and relaxed sitting position. Position yourself centrally in front of the piano and place your feet flat and parallel on the floor. An ideal posture is achieved when your thumbs are level with your forearms on the white keys, while your elbows are slightly raised. It is also important to leave enough space between you and the piano - a good guide is that there should be enough room for a pet - such as a small dog or cat - on your lap. Make sure you sit upright, keep your back straight and that your shoulders are relaxed and not hunched up.
