I’ve played for a long time and I’ve bitten my nails and not bitten my nails and I actually find that biting nails is better than not. It gives you better control over the nail length and is actually easier than clipping them.
It’s also ok to have really short nails if you play keyboard. I always try to look at the length of keyboardists’ fingernails. They’re really short, similar to string players.
If you play a stringed instrument or keyboard it’s ok to bite your nails. If anyone judges you or gives you crap about it, just ask them if they can play a prelude on the violin.
If they can’t [of course they frikkin can’t!] tell them to STFU.
Biting nails should not be something looked down upon. It’s actually a very human activity and indicates a certain vulnerability and introspectiveness.
