Previous Q&A Lessons
Hi,
I have a question, I’m at the end of you Vol 2 book, and soon going to Grade I, but I am also practicing piano, I wonder if I could practicing with no finger nails on higher grades?
I’m still doing fine without finger nails, the sound is kind of softer than when I grow finger nails a little bit.
Thank you.
You can play without nails, you might loose some volume and clarity but I know some great players that play with little or no nails.
