Voicing

The art of balancing different layers of sound within a single hand. Usually, this means making the melody (top note) louder while keeping the accompaniment (lower notes) quiet.

  • The Savvy Take: Imagine your hand is a “claw” where the pinky is made of steel and the other fingers are made of feathers. Lean your arm weight into the pinky side of your hand to make the melody “sing” above the texture.
