How do you roll piano notes?

My hands can reach comfortably across nine keys (my pinky on the first key and my thumb on the ninth). For the bass-cleff i have to reach form B flat up to middle C and on the treble- cleff i have to hit, F,C and F. I have to hit all these keys simultaneously but i and most normal people can not reach this far, what do i do?

  • What I do when I can't reach as far as I want to is not play the highest note, or maybe release my little finger from the lowest note as I play the middle note, then play the highest note with the thumb.

  • F C F is the span of an octave with the fifth thrown in. It's less of a reach than you Bb C in the bass; and you can drop your index finger right there on that C.

    ... I would say most normal people would have no problem playing that.

  • If you can not play all the notes, leave some out.

    Main thing is, you are enjoying the music.
