While it is possible to play with longer fingernails (been there, done that), if one is to press the keys the way one should, it is difficult. There is also the little problem of catching nails between the keys, which is a thoroughly unpleasant experience!
As I've mentioned before, I'm so pleased with this development. I have long thought, that given the family that Haley grew up in, that a.) it simply didn't make sense that she didn't seem to play an instrument; and b.) she shouldn't be relying on others to help her write "her songs." Now if she can learn to play well enough that she can get the melodies and chord structures down, she can turn to others for arrangement help, if needed, but she should reap the financial rewards with less "sharing." (Yes, I know -- sharing's a good thing, usually ....
