May 3, 2020 at 20:01 comment added Luke Sawczak Second video is the one I endorse, and the best of the answers here, imo. Imitating hand positions on non-piano surfaces is actually more disorienting than imagining hand positions on the piano. I remember reading an interesting study (can't remember the source now) about how the brain activates pretty much all the same areas as if you were actually playing it, strengthening the connections that we (inaccurately) call "muscle memory". Of course, you do need to have a good sense of what the piano feels like under your fingers, so it's not useful for beginners.
