The specific criteria they owned, such as attitude and skill, provoke success and contribution to the field they are involved. That is believes the situation is applicable in the music education. For the musician whose fingers are dominated mostly by Whorls, they may have stronger character while approaching something. For archs dominated people, they tend to secure and avoid high risk job. This causes career branch in selecting work. Since personality influences human behavior, it is hoped that through examination of fingerprint patterns and calculation of fingerprint distribution patterns of pianists, a clear pictures that certain features of fingerprint reflect on talented pianists will be revealed.
