Play Without Tension w/ “Micro Flaps” 👋🏻
My tips for staying loose:
1. Check your shoulders and your elbows - usually this is where we are holding tension without even noticing.
2. Exaggerate and do a loose, relaxed gesture (at the piano or away from it). This helps our body condition itself to recognize what it feels to let go of this tension.
3. Ground yourself by sitting on the bench properly, with your feet nicely planted.
4. As you are playing, gradually minimize the amount of exaggerated movements you are doing, but maintain a similar amount of relaxation (you will have to find a balance between the right amount of flexing to play the notes vs relaxing).
5. Keep your fingertips active — not everything should be loosey goosey.
