  1. Hi,

    I have a question, I’m at the end of you Vol 2 book, and soon going to Grade I, but I am also practicing piano, I wonder if I could practicing with no finger nails on higher grades?
    I’m still doing fine without finger nails, the sound is kind of softer than when I grow finger nails a little bit.

    Thank you.
