Question: My little fingers hurt learning piano!?
I have just started learning to play piano and my little fingers hurt!. I was wondering whether this is normal or if my posture is wrong!?Www@Enter-QA@Com
Answers:
your posture is all wrong then!. please correct it asap or you could develop early arthritis in your fingers, as well as carpel tunnels and a variety of other maladies!. i have seen children as young as 9 years old with arthritic hands from playing the piano with incorrect posture!. always remember to keep your back straight and dont slouch!. also, your forearms should be parallel to the floor, and you tilt your wrist downward and play with the tips of your fingers!. this will keep you playing for many more years to come!. good luck and happy keysWww@Enter-QA@Com
Fanatic answer from both these katz
Forearms should be parallel to the floor, Great
However, If I were teaching you, and you tilt your wrist downward, you will get a tap on your hands by me!. the wrist also should be parallel also, with a slightly upward, the main word is SLIGHTLY!.
All this is what you call, "the balancing of the hands"

Nope it's nothing out of the ordinary!. I never played piano, but everyone who starts to play an instrument has achy fingers!. I remember my fingers bled when I first started to play guitar!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
