Do Not Raise the Piano-Stool Too HighAre the best results at the piano attained by sitting high or low?As a general rule, I do not recommend a high seat at the piano, because thisinduces the employment of the arm and shoulders rather than of the fingers, and is, of course, very harmful to the technique. As to the exact height of the seat, you will have to experiment for yourself and find out at which height you can play longest with the least fatigue.
