Technique
1. 🟩 One Note Bubble
THIS WEEK: One note at a time. Right hand, then left hand.
You named this one. At the piano, one note at a time.
Sit up straight. Straight back.
Elbows a little in front of your tummy. Move the bench if they are too far or too close.
Make a bubble with your hand, like there is a bird underneath and you don't want it to fly away.
Wrist and elbow relaxed.
Right hand, then left hand.
