Re: Flat or curved

Hi Rusty,

I've always used and taught flat, straight fingers as I find that curving or arching the fingers slows me down. It's a personal thing but I find that flat, straight fingers kept close to the keys is the best technique for me. You will find that your
technique, speed and accuracy will improve too because the pads of your fingers cover the holes better than fingers approaching from above at an angle to the hole. I find that arching fingers and even bending the knuckle slows my technique down quite considerably. Again, it's all personal choice so try both methods and see what works for you. Hope this helps in some way.

Andy
