Madi- witch fingers

Madi tries to play a song with fake witch fingers

For a fun Halloween activity, I bought these fake witch fingers. You simply slide them onto your fingers and voila! You have witch hands! One piano technique that beginner pianists have to learn is that we don’t play piano with flat fingers. We also don’t play with long fingernails. These witch fingers force you to play with flat fingers and the fingernails are incredibly long!

As the students tried to perform while wearing these creepy fingers, they soon realized that playing piano was nearly impossible! They had a lot of fun wearing the fingers and it reinforced a simple lesson that could always use a good reminder.
