Wrist Motion — 2D & 3D at the keyboard

This video lesson forms part of the Wrist Motion chapter of The PianoWell Program. Watch the lesson first, then continue with the complete written chapter for detailed study and practice.

About this lesson

Emma demonstrates the side-to-side plane of 2D motion and the rounded path of 3D rolls and swings.

The wrist is where sound imagination first becomes visible in the hand. This chapter develops that connection in two stages: first through a flat, side-to-side two-dimensional motion, and then through a rounded, breathing three-dimensional motion that later becomes the physical carrier of imagined sound and inner singing throughout the rest of the program.

What this lesson covers

  • 2D wrist motion for directional clarity
  • 3D wrist motion (rolls and swings) to connect notes
  • Releasing wrist tension through light, breathing motion
