This is my 5 year old student, Faith K. We videotaped a piano master class to show the pedagogical piano techniques which are helping for beginners to build a very good hand position. Please, look at part I and part II.
I try to explain for my student and for everyone who is watching this video how to hold the student's hand, arms, and wrist, curving her fingers and teach her to play with relax hands and stable, strong, and curved fingers. It is a long and hard process. We count together, learn to move hands one octave higher or low in time. Step by step we accomplish playing legato, staccato with the flexible and relax wrist.
Thank you!

The student had very good hand position at the end. It's amazing what you can do with these young students. Thanks for providing these videos!
