When playing the piano, especially when playing hard, fingers fall from a height or chords are played violently, and finger joints have to bear a lot of weight or strength. ? Therefore, at the beginning of learning the piano, we attached great importance to establishing a circular arch hand shape, which is scientific and conforms to the mechanical principle-"gravity is evenly transmitted along the curved surface." ? However, children are young and soft-hearted, and teachers should be gradual in training, and they should not be rushed.
Some children have strong bones and muscles and correct hands, so it is not easy to have problems in practicing the piano. For children who are younger (for example, before the age of 5) or have weak fingers, teachers and parents blindly ask him or her to practice the piano for a long time or play too hard to strengthen the finger support, and force the child's fingers to "pull out the seedlings" to encourage them. This will inevitably damage the child's fingers-the weak ring finger and little finger bear the brunt. ?
In addition, many children's hands are tilted when playing, and the fourth and fifth fingers are tilted to bear the weight of playing, which will also cause joint deformation and pain. I have witnessed a child who has been learning piano for many years, and gave up learning piano because of the swelling of the outer side of the little finger joint and the pain of crooked fingers. This is the responsibility of the instructor and the misfortune of the children and parents!
Finally, attach a newspaper clipping from the collection to remind parents and piano teachers to take care of their children's delicate fingers:
