Pianists look at different things when they play the piano depending on the piece they're playing and what they're doing: Sight reading When sight reading, pianists focus on the written music and use their ears to make sure they're playing the correct notes.

They may also look ahead to anticipate where their hands will move. Playing by ear or improvising It's okay to look at your hands or the keyboard when playing by ear or improvising.

Romantic music has larger leaps, so a pianist may look at their hands more often. read less
