 Re: long fingers

I'm having a hard time envisioning your problem here. It seems to me that long fingers would make it easier, not harder, to use the G# and A keys. My fingers are a little longer than yours and I've never had a problem. I expect that once you find a good hand position, you'll be fine. It occurs to me that your optimum hand position may not be the same as your teacher's. I do curve my fingers a bit (actually about the same amount as I curve them to use a computer keyboard) but my teachers have never suggested there is anything wrong with that approach and once, when I asked a teacher specifically about my hand position, she said it was fine.

Best regards,
jnk
