Most of the beginners and the med piano students often struggle with their piano fingering. Several students result into embarrassing fingering when playing piano chords. The finger length is different with everyone and the thumb is sorter than other fingers. Therefore the fact is thumb is strongest finger from all and so the thumb, middle finger and index finger are the used fingers when playing the piano. Make sure you don’t use your thumb when playing the black keys on the key set but only use them in exceptions when playing the piece including all the black notes. The thumb being shorter in length it should not be used for playing the black keys.

You can use your thumb as the anchor when the key is just a few steps down from the thumb and can cross the second finger so that it reaches the note. There are some basic piano chords exercises which can help you play the piano professionally.
