Q: Should teachers assign piano literature based on hand size?
A: Hand size with respect to performing piano literature is an issue affecting a large percentage of all pianists, especially young children whose performance ability may increase faster than their hands grow. Teachers are obligated to consider a student's hand size when assigning literature. Once a hand has been injured from stretching too far, too long or in the wrong ways, it often is never the same again. The issue of physical comfort at the keyboard and the presence of too many and too wide stretches are issues that always need to be addressed.
