I'm sure that this has probably already been discussed but whateve'. I'll start a new topic about it
All I want is to be-able to reach a 10th without hurting my hands. Right now I can easily reach an octave, a ninth is okay but it hurts my hand a little, and can just barely get a 10th.
I have big palms though, just short fingers.
I am only 16 though and I am still growing I think, so I am crossing my fingers that my hands grow just a little. lol
Does anyone know if like lifting weights or stuff like that will help stimulate my hands to grow more?
or what about drinking some sort of protein shake. lol
do you think that maybe while you are still growing, playing the piano a lot and stretching your fingers, maybe will make your hand naturally adapt and grow more.
so anyway I was wonder what your thoughts are on hand size and how important you think it is, and maybe some ideas to over come having small hands.
Also, is it harder to play faster and have good technique with larger hands? So maybe having small hands would be an advantage when playing some pieces. What do you think the optimal hand size to have to play the piano?
