Banging on the Piano Syndrome

Question from a student:

I am on Level 5 and happy with my progress.   However, when I listen to your audio support the sound is lovely and “soft” – I seem to play the keys much stronger and harder.   Do you have any tip(s) as to how I can train my fingers to be more gentle.    (I work on a computer keyboard all day so I suppose I have learned to hit the keys hard!).

Lisa’s Answer:

When I was learning, my mom always yelled at me about “banging” on the keys. It’s a natural beginner tendency.  It’s good you are aware of it, because you will naturally work on it. ~smile~  It’s being aware, controlling your muscles, and over time you will start to know how hard and soft to hit the keys to get the desired sound.
