Proper hand position prevents injury and allows your fingers to move freely across the keys.

• Your hand should form a relaxed dome shape with fingertips pointing down toward the keys.
• Avoid letting your wrist collapse below the keyboard or hike up above your knuckles.
• Strike the keys with your fingertips, not your flat finger pads, to gain control and clarity.
• Loose shoulders let energy flow naturally from your arm into each keystroke.

Practising this posture from day one prevents bad habits that are hard to fix later.
