Try to keep your wrists high as is comfortable for you, so that the sound produced when each finger articulates ‘shines like a bell’, is beautiful. Circular motions in your elbows and wrists as you move to your pieces’ rhythm. High wrists, and RELAXED fingers, focusing on lifting your fingers up off the keys when playing scales. Also, SHAPE the scale, feeling a ‘long rhythmic pulse’, so that the scale has a beginning, a middle (top of note of the scale) and an end.
