Sit or stand?

With a little bit of practice, we’ll be rocking out in no time. We just have to get our hands working together. And for most people, that means sitting still at the keyboard … and staying focused on which notes to play.

After all, every music teacher in the world will tell you to sit still … with a straight back … keeping your eyes forward. It’s just what most people do. And it’s generally a good idea because you won’t get distracted as you’re learning to play. If you don’t get crazy and you just sit still at the piano, your hands can move around much more easily.

But after a while that can get a little boring—and you might zone out. So don’t forget to do what you want. In other words, you can sit still if you feel like it … or you can stand up and jump around while you play. The choice is up to you. It definitely takes a little more skill to rock out on the piano. But it can also be a lot of fun. I mean, what’s better than playing like this?
