She is a competent pianist who has studied since age 5. At age 14, she developed tendonitis in the tendons from her fingers across her right knuckles. She saw several hand specialists in Baltimore. Basically, there was nothing to do but wait until the pain subsided and use of the right hand returned. Not incidentally, this was an emotionally traumatic time of her life (how would you like to be a 14 year old girl?). Since she has matured emotionally (now age 20), there is no tendonitis and only occasional joint and muscular fatigue from prolonged playing. I don't know if this helps but I offer it for what it's worth.
