Freaky Fingers

My son has freaky fingers. They are double jointed.



It affects how he holds a pen or pencil.


Or how he plays his clarinet.


When he curls his fingers you can feel they are articulated and go click, click, click.


He has to work out how to play the clarinet without his fingers locking up.


It's a bit of a challenge but he is happy to perservere to get his own style.


He cracks his knuckles which helps to loosen them a bit.


Strange.

  2. I don't know about making money, but I am thinking piano instead of clarinet.

  3. RJ: He has done his piano pennance. He likes the clarinet because it is a difficult instrument and he is good at it - just have to wiggle his fingers differently.

  4. That is excellent. It is always nice to be good at something, especially at such a young age.

  6. RJ: You can bet he does not take after me AT ALL when it comes to music.

    Lotus07: My son also cracks his back and feet. Quite horrible. But I am also a bit jealous I cannot do it. If I try, it hurts.
