Abby talks about the concept of "good posture" for pianists, a review of the workshop she led for the Vermont Music Teachers Association last weekend.
Major takeaways:
- There is no such thing as good or bad posture. Instilling that idea only makes a musician have to choose a body position and stick with it all the time in order to be good.
- Problems arise from a lack of variety more than the actual body position itself.
- Muscles are happiest when they are in their middle range, so whatever feels easiest, is probably right.
- Whenever talking about posture, use sensation cues rather than action cues whenever possible to avoid a rigid strategy
- Encourage the use of body position as a means of communication. It will allow for the variety the body needs to stay healthy at the piano for longer.
