In this video, we explore why pelvic alignment is absolutely fundamental to piano posture and how small adjustments in the way you sit can make a dramatic difference both in your performance and your physical comfort.

Many pianists struggle with lower back pain, tailbone pressure, or muscle fatigue after long practice sessions.

What they don't realize is that poor sitting posture often stems from an unbalanced pelvis.

Whether your weight is falling too far back causing tailbone discomfort or shifting too far forward placing strain on your lower back, finding balance on your sitting bones is the key to fixing these problems.

Aligning the pelvis is not simply about sitting straight, it is about discovering equilibrium so you can move freely while playing.

We break down the common pitfalls players encounter when sitting on the piano stool, including uneven weight distribution, tilting too much to one side, and pushing the pelvis forward or backward.

These subtle mistakes can silently hinder your piano technique and create long term muscular issues.

Through awareness and small conscious shifts, you can improve your sitting posture to support your hands, arms, and fingers more effectively at the keyboard.

This video is especially helpful for beginners learning proper piano posture but is equally valuable for experienced musicians looking to refine their technique and reduce strain.

You will also gain valuable insight into the biomechanics of sitting and how mastering sitting bones balance supports your overall playing comfort and even tone control.

We also discuss how to find your natural sitting bones balance when seated at the piano stool and why this matters more than simply sitting upright.

Understanding this foundation of piano ergonomics helps unlock your full expressive potential and prevents common overuse injuries that stem from bad posture habits over time.

Let this be a reminder that being in tune with your body, starting from the pelvis, lays the groundwork not only for healthy piano practice but also for long-lasting enjoyment and physical wellbeing throughout your musical journey.
