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.

Usually I don’t read post on blogs, but I wish to say that this write-up
very compelled me to try and do so! Your writing taste has been amazed
me. Thank you, very great post.
I already knew most of them, but Music Matters is in my opinion, one of the best looking websites I have ever seen.
