My daughter is a beginner piano student (she is 4), and I’m trying to help her curve her fingers while she plays. She will curve them great until she actually presses down the keys, and then the go flat at the first knuckle. Do you have any ideas to help build finger strength so she can keep her fingers curved while she plays? Thanks in advance!

try a higher stool i found this helped
and also some exercises…
make a claw shape on a flat surface and then rise each finger individually so streching and streathening them indivually…
although this may be something that she’ll want to develop when she is older,
just keep encouraging her to practice and enjoy playing and performing and technique will develop later.
I would say that finger strength just comes from practice, though I’m not a teacher of the instrument.
My piano teacher used to have a small-ish wax apple on top of the piano and every time my hands lost shape she’d make me put my hand around the apple in order to remind myself of what I was aiming for.
Not sure if this helps but perhaps you could find a similar object and do the same?
If i think of anything else I’ll edit back. Good luck
Play counting games bending the fingers alot
when we were little we played jacks and ball.
that little ball will help her. Just have her hold it naturally and show her what the curve looks like and should feel like.
and then take her to the piano and ask her to pretend that the ball is still in her hand…if she doesn’t get it, just keep practicing with her.
Be kind and gentle….ok"
