QuestionI have recently quit piano for about four months, and I am afraid my fingers are not quick as before. What should I do?Community AnswerIf you practiced a lot when you were playing piano, your brain and muscles will remember the motions. If it was only 4 months that you stopped, your fingers should still know plenty. I wouldn't worry. Before you start piano lessons again, maybe try a few old songs you used to do and see if it comes back. Practice a lot, and your skills will return.
