The thumb, first, & middle fingers are the strongest & a lot of times, the notes that are played by them stand out when they’re not supposed to. On the other hand, the ring & pinky finger are the weakest & sometimes it’s hard to have them play very loudly when you need them to like at the peak of a song. What are some ways I can train my fingers to have equal strength??

    one way is to make O’s with your fingers. for example, thumb to index, thumb to middle, thumb to ring & so on. but another thing is your scales. just a simple one like C major & play it in different loudness. other than that just strengthen the weakest fingers in another way.

    Actually, that’s a question which has perplexed pianists for hundreds of years, until Hanon came out with a book of piano practice pieces. Hanon is a collection of simple piano exercises which get progressively more difficult throughout the book. More info can be found by following the amazon link. Good luck!
