One pianist ever commented, 'Rather than sacrificing piano to have long and pretty nails, pianists typically cut their nails so they can embrace their love of music. They don't view it as sacrifice; it's more like eliminating an impediment and allowing their hands to be in the optimal condition.”

Read More »Among female pianists, a common question that comes up in their minds is: Can I play the piano with long nails? For all their interest and skills in playing the piano, having long fingernails may present quite a fair bit of problems when playing the piano. It is important to note that good hand position is crucial when playing the piano. Ideally, the fingers should be in a comfortable position. This should be natural and should not require extra effort. When the fingers are postioned as such, the fingernails would be the first things to strike the keys. This is the correct position. If players have to stretch the fingers fully in order to play, this is the incorrect position. Some of us may think that stretching the fingers, especially when we have long fingernails, makes it easier to strike the keys. However, this introduces unnecessary strain on the hands. Playing a piece may look cumbersome. If we are really serious about playing the piano, it will make more sense to trim the nails. This will allow us to maintain an ideal hand position and not create extra noises at the same time. There is no hard rule about nail length; they should be cut just at the right length, so that we can feel the keys with the ball of our fingers. We should not have to reposition our hands, wrists or arms. If this happens, it means the nails are too long and will affect our playing. That said, although some ladies really love their fingernails, they understand that their love for the piano necessitates trimming their nails and do what is required. No hard feelings. One pianist ever commented, ‘Rather than sacrificing piano to have long and pretty nails, pianists typically cut their nails so they can embrace their love of music. They don't view it as sacrifice; it's more like eliminating an impediment and allowing their hands to be in the optimal condition.”
