Playing piano
all day long could be so tiring especially to your fingers. What is the best
for you before start playing piano is you need to warm up your hand first
especially your finger. Many people had over look about it include the
professional pianist. This is the important steps before we go further. Without
proper exercise you could feel your hand to spasm easily. Thus you cannot
playing further and have to stop at the middle. This could affect your training
and slowdown your progress.

| Figure 1: Finger stretching |
As for the
solution I would like to share with you few tips on how to exercise your finger
that could be fun and help to increase your endurance while playing piano. First
of all we can start with Finger Stretching
Technique what you need to do is you need to stretch out your hand and
finger. Basically it same to goes to our body this will tell the brain to give
a signal to your hand for a preparation. You can do simple thing like massage
the top and palm of your hand or slightly bend each finger back and forward but
don’t stretch too much or you might get hurt.
Furthermore, I
would like to share with you some old technique called Plane Hand. What you need to do is place one of your hands flat on
a table, make your hand flat enough and palm it down. Next what you need to do
is you need to lift your entire finger but don’t do this at a time. You may
lift your finger one by one maybe you can start from your thumb, index, middle
and pinky. Please repeat the step in reverse way also as it also can benefit
your finger handling. If you confuse
with your finger configuration you may refer here Finger Technique

| Figure 2: Paper Crumple |
Another famous
technique I would like to share is Paper
Crumple. This practice is not so difficult to do it and personally I think
this is easy one and so suitable for people who don’t have a time to carry out
with any very hard technique. You just
need to prepare a piece of paper any kind of paper that you no longer use it.
Next what you need to do is just crumple the paper up then relax then repeat
again for few times.
If you feel
not comfortable you can at anytime to change the material maybe you can change
with a stress ball, towel or clothes so that it much more comfort you.
With all of
above I think you can now start to exercise your hand before you play piano. I
hope you can have a good practice without any finger stress or finger spasm.
You just can at any time to find more info with regards to this exercising.
