Proper Piano Posture & Staccato: The Flicking & Trampoline Touch (Stop Stiff Hands)
Stiff, heavy staccato? Proper posture plus the “flicking” and “trampoline” techniques give you a light, bouncy touch on the piano. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music covers how to sit and hold your hands correctly, then teaches staccato through two intuitive images: flicking and a trampoline-like bounce. You'll learn how good posture sets your hands up to move freely, how the flicking and trampoline techniques produce crisp, effortless staccato, and how to practise them without tension creeping in. It's a hands-on fix for anyone whose short, detached notes feel stiff or laboured. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 ============================= 📹 Our Video Courses (Everything for Life Bundle) ➡️ https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🎹 Piano Courses & Private Lessons ➡️ https://piano.nathanielschool.com ============================= ▶️ Related Lessons & Playlists 🎵 Music Theory lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory 🎹 All our lessons on Chord Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC 👂 Ear Training lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/EarTraining ============================= 🎓 Learn Music with Nathaniel School of Music & Jason Zac ➡️ https://nathanielschool.com 📚 All our YouTube lessons (1000+) by skill level, topic & genre ➡️ https://learning-portal.nathanielschool.com ============================= 💰 Donate on PayPal ➡️ https://geni.us/DonatePayPal 📸 Instagram ➡️ https://instagram.com/jasonzac 📞 Call +91 98454 65411 · 💬 WhatsApp chat +91 77604 56847 📧 Customised & Private Classes ➡️ music@nathanielschool.com 🎧 Listen to Jason Zac Music ➡️ https://riffs.jasonzacmusic.com/ #PianoLessons #PianoTechnique #Staccato #PianoPosture #LearnPiano
