How pianists brains are different?
But the big difference for pianists is that their communication is about syntax, not words. Dr. Charles Limb’s study showed that when pianists solo, their brains respond as if they were responding in a conversation, but they pay attention to phrasing and “grammatical” structure instead of specific words and phrases.
Do pianists have muscular fingers?
Pianists will develop stamina naturally over time without focusing on building “strong” fingers, but there are certain exercises that you can do to work on imbalances. We have muscles surrounding our knuckles, and muscle at the base of our thumb, but no muscles in the actual fingers or thumbs themselves.
Can people with fat fingers play piano?
I have had a few students in all my years of teaching who have fingers so thick that they find it impossible to play certain chords. Good pianists hands are not only large enough to cover a good 1/3 of the piano, but also are thin enough to be able to play more inside the piano inbetween the black notes.
