The fingering of a song enables you to play with a calm hand position. Often there’s more than one good fingering possible. Always choose the fingering that suits you best. Or find your own fingering!

Don't shrug your shoulders too much, just let them hang. Keep your wrist slightly straight. Always try to keep your hand relaxed, even when playing something difficult!
