The fingers are very important in playing piano. The first knuckles need to be strong enough to press the keys firmly without the knuckles collapsing. And the fingers need to stay lightly on the keys so that they can quickly press the keys when required.
You can help your child this week by observing their fingers. Are they close to the keys or sticking up in the air. Just a gentle reminder to keep fingers close to the keys should be enough to help.
Remember the donut holes in the very first lessons? These are good for strengthening the first knuckles. Have them do these every day.
