Lesson 1: Home Row (ASDF JKL;)

Posture, hand position, and the home row anchors F & J. Aim for smooth rhythm and 95%+ accuracy before chasing speed.

Setup & Technique

  • Sit tall; wrists neutral; shoulders relaxed
  • Index fingers on F and J (feel the bumps)
  • Eyes on the screen, not the keys; return to home row between words
  • Tap lightly — accuracy first, then speed
