Fame PB-10C-BK Piano Bench (Black Satin)

How do I sit correctly?

The ergonomic importance of correct posture when making music cannot be overstated. Drummers know the importance of correct sitting posture, and wind players know that a hunched back restricts breathing and therefore the ability to produce clear and powerful tones. The same goes for guitarists, for whom precise hand position is essential to prevent fatigue and cramps in the arms and hands. But what about pianists? When playing the piano, the correct posture is essential to avoid tension and fully enjoy musical expression. A stretched, upright and relaxed posture is essential. The key to achieving this position is to use a high-quality piano stool. Not only does it have a comfortable upholstery, but it also offers the possibility of adjusting the height of the seat. This means that every pianist can find the ideal position. A good piano stool not only improves the ergonomics of playing, it also enhances the pleasure and performance of the instrument. It is an indispensable accessory that strengthens the bond between musician and instrument and contributes to harmonious and effective music-making.

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.
