I always get in trouble with octaves. My fingers are not designed to stretch out far enough and I end up with pain at every single attempt. The tune they make is clumsy either and I stumble on each cascading key. I remember, once, my tutor told me to slow down and to not make haste. To stop trying too hard to reach the keys because only time, he said, can tell when I’m ready. My fingers will learn the rhythm like a heartbeat and if they still can’t stretch, I must not give up. The piano has 88 keys and a hundred more possibilities.
I had to laugh. I thought we were only talking about octaves.
It’s a rainy holiday season here in PH and the bed weather pulled the keyboard and I closer these days. I still find it a challenge though to play with octaves. Haha. Them little hands. So here goes something. 🙂

Great one Maria. I must confess even at full size, my hands could never reach all the octaves eithor when we practiced more theoretical piano things – scales etc. Even playing a piece my pinky could rarely if ever reach that very bottom bass note at the end of song. Life and octaves hmmm
Merry Christmas my friend!
