Understanding Piano Touch

Press a key... a tone sounds.
Is the keystroke an enjoyable experience?
It should be.

Piano touch should be a sensation of physical enjoyment. It should be a dance that invites your finger to meet the tone.

Ideal Touch

Ideal touch is the touch that allows you, personally, to physically enjoy the keystroke. When tone and touch feel like an extension of your fingers, you have achieved your ideal touch.

Ask Your Fingers

How do you find your ideal touch?
Ask your fingers, they know!

Are you happy with your piano’s touch?
Ask your fingers!

“But all Steinways feel like this.”
Fine, but what do your fingers say?

“I thought all actions were supposed to feel like this?”
Maybe not… Your fingers may be asking for something different. Ask your fingers… They know!
