Whole-arm Touches

Dropping into The Keyboard and Balancing on a Finger

From the lap we bring the arm up as loosely and freely as possible to the keyboard, dropping into the keyboard on a selected finger. We balance on the key without pressing (a fault known as key-bedding). The wrist is loose, yet elastic and stable. Check in with your body, and the breath. When we land in the key with the 5^th finger, we align the arm naturally behind the finger.
