Figure (1) shows the correct setting in front of the piano
The arms can move freely and the head balances easily on top of the spine, easing the load on the neck, shoulders, and arms.
The setting determined the correct specification of the previous figure as follows: A) sit in the middle seat of
the rectangle so that the rectangle occupies two-thirds of the surface of the seat. B) The Body straight and torso
fixed in standby mode, and the weight of the body rests on the torso and feet. C) The head in a normal situation
with no parts of the front or back and shoulders and put them in with the natural lack of raising them up. D)
Arms and forearms to be obtuse angle.
The performance of playing skills wonted to be acquired for beginner students:-
1) The technique is one of the most important skills which mean knowing the correct way for the fingers on the
instrument. And discovering its route through the touch sense. The technique is technical exercises of
fingers. The student performs them on the piano instrument every day, with a sense mind and complete
concentration for acquiring elasticity, skill and the correct mental physical habits which are stored in the
unconsciousness as a result of daily training till it becoming an automatic spontaneous habit and getting to
the best by means of this technique. It is a most to avoid strong physical settings. There should not be a high
pressure above the two arms in the body and the two elbows should be to the outside and the two wrists to
the inside with not bending the two shoulders. The two elbows should be lowered down, the arm directs the
hand and the hand directs the finger. As long as the forearms muscles move the fingers, make the hand and
the arm at a single straight.(Al said, N. Hanim, 1998, p.21)
2) The musical sentence and the phrasal one: music is a special language and has its sentences; parts and
pronunciation and the musical phrase is a part at the parts from which the musical passage is composed.
And, in turn it consists of several parts. Each of them divides into small parts; melodic or harmonic.
Everyone is called the melodically photo or the melodic drawing. By collecting these photos, we get a
certain idea or a certain meaning named the sentence. We acknowledge the musical sentence and its parts by
the ending or separating each from the other by a stop for the plan periodical, similar to the punctuation
marks in the language for the phrases, the sentences and their parts. The simplest kind of the musical
sentences is that which is formed of eight musical octaves, divided into two phrases or two drawn parts,
each of them of four octaves. The first on the shape of a question and the second on the shape of an answer.
The first section usually ends in a minus stop (not complete) but the second one usually ends in a complete
stop. (Bayoumi, A.1992, pp. 308-309).
3) Play legato is intended to contact playing tones for piano to each other, and this kind of performance does
not come except by good listening on the part of the student. He must listen to the end of the sound by
listening to his debut completely, and when the music is slow he must take every sound right to help
connect the sounds together while pressing the keys to take into account the rapid disappearance of sound
and noting that there are sentences (interconnected) sound are not connecting because they are not equaled
in terms of rhythm and melody. (Zaghloul N., 1981,p.4) The related performance - skills that sometimes
cause difficulty and often cause refraction in the continuity of the sound while performing the melody if a
student is not fully aware of the treatment manner manipulated.
4) The Portato; playing intermittent, it is one of the different skill in playing on the piano, and is intended to
perform in a way tones are not tied or separate, but are as close as to be to the tones and referred to the
development of a short clause above or below these tones (-).
5) The Melodic line is a playing skill. lies in how to control the quantity and quality of the audio output of
music and its association with the sounds before, and the sounds that followed and this is the playing of
musical phrase, so care must be taken in the time your melody as a whole and not of interest by clicking
strong the beginning of each Measures so as not to lose the wholesale musical flow of goods. The most
important points to be observed while performing wholesale musical interest is the beginning of the melody,
