The hand is very important to the pianist, and the protection of the hand should be taken seriously by everyone. Generally, the following aspects should be paid attention to:

How to protect fingers and nails?

First, avoid soaking in water for a long time, because the soaking time is long, the hands will swell, and the calluses on the hands will be soaked and soft, so that they fall off. So try not to soak for a long time. But I want to make one thing clear, this is not an excuse for not doing housework. The time it takes to wash clothes and wash dishes is not a long soak. Don't say it, Teacher Song said that because I play the piano, my fingers don't touch the spring water, but I didn't say that.

Second, pay attention to the protection of opponents when exercising, and do not perform excessively intense hand exercises, such as arm wrestling, basketball, volleyball, etc. These movements can cause a lot of damage to the hand, so try to avoid them.

Third, do not engage in prolonged hand strength activities, such as using shovels and shovels. Prolonged hand strength activities will thicken the muscles of the hand, which is not conducive to the flexibility of the fingers. It is also important for nail protection. When we play the piano, we don't have nails on the left hand, and the nails on the right hand should not be too long, just enough. Never do "nail care" or apply nail polish, as it will destroy the enamel of the nails and make the nails fragile, which is not worth the loss!
