Does anyone play the piano?

Hi

Our 7 yo daughter is going to start piano lessons soon.

We bought her a keyboard with stand for Christmas.
What is the right height for the keyboard to be ?

Thanks

My wife plays. She says your elbows should be at waist height with your hands dropped slightly lower.

I play and it's really whatever position feels most comfortable without strain.

Here's a good site for some guidance http://www.wellbalancedpianist.com/bpseatingguide.htm

Something I always wished I had learned.
The cello didn't lead to either glory nor an evenings enjoyment.

Sometimes I wish it were the guitar I learned instead, especially when I see my Aussie mate play. It's certainly more practical than wheeling a baby grand down the street.

Reminds me of a famous quote from Sir Thomas Beecham - "Madam, you have between your legs an instrument capable of giving pleasure to thousands, and all you can do is scratch it!"

Your hookers are your own business.

He was referring to a lady cellist.
