Let your fingers rest on the piano keys lightly while taking deep breaths. This will help relax any tension in your hand. When you play, pretend your hand is very lazy and you want to barely do any work. Your pianist fingers should rest comfortably on the keys. Try to resist the urge to lift your fingers up off of the keys. Leaving your piano fingers on the keys will help you save energy and reduce the pain and exertion after playing.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tips &#038; Techniques Hand Exercises for the Piano How to Alleviate Tension and Pain.
