Collapsing first knuckles
on: March 06, 2019, 07:00:09 PM
Hi everyone. I have a high school student, and while playing Satie's 1st Gnossienne, I noticed his left hand collapses from the first knuckles while playing the chords.

He allowed me to record a small video of it:


I couldn't come up with a satisfactory solution to this on the spot. Now that I'm testing it on the table, my hand collapses the same way, if I apply too much force when the hand isn't properly aligned.

Any advice on how to fix this would be much appreciated. Thank you!
