About this lesson
The feeling of a light, free touch—and how to return to it when tension creeps in.
Relaxed hands are not limp—they are light and free, gliding across the keys as if barely there. This chapter distinguishes healthy from unhealthy tension and shows how a powerful tone can emerge from ease rather than force.
