Recently, many beginner piano friends have asked: Is there any solution to the pain in the fingers when practicing the piano?

In fact, when learning Guqin for the first time, because of not mastering the practice method, I often feel pain due to the friction of the left hand's big finger and the ring finger's kneeling finger on the strings. In severe cases, there will be bleeding and swelling, which affects the normal progress of learning.

Left big finger: When pressing the strings, the nails and flesh are used in half (half the nails and the half flesh). If the friction time is too long, the fingernails will be rubbed into a track, and pain will occur when touching the flesh.

The ring finger of the left hand: The place where the kneeling finger is in the high-pitched area, the string tension is relatively hard, and the skin and flesh can not stand the friction when kneeling on the finger, and it will hurt, swell and bleed.

To avoid the above situation, you need to pay attention to the method of practicing the piano.

When playing the guqin, there are more opportunities to press the strings with the thumb of the left hand, so it is necessary to avoid friction and damage to the nails when pressing the strings. Don't press the strings too hard with your thumb (but it will sound weak if you don't press too hard). If you find that the nail is damaged, you can replace the other part of the nail to press the strings. By changing the parts of the nails frequently, you can avoid the nails being damaged too deeply, and the strings will not be embedded in the skin and sting.

If you need to practice for a long time, the big finger of the left hand is made of thin cowhide (or artificial leather) as a nail cover, which is put on the big finger or pasted with adhesive tape on the big, middle and ring fingers to press the strings. When kneeling on the string with the index finger, be careful not to slip the string into the nails to avoid bleeding. When pressing the strings with the kneeling fingers, the right hand should be played at a distance away from Yueshan (about one emblem), so that the kneeling fingers will be less stressed and the pronunciation will be easier and more pleasant.
