Music muscles—finger exercise device to be used while practicing any musical instrument that requires the use of the fingers or any other activity that requires the use of the fingers such as typing, sports that require the use of the hands, or hand, wrist and finger rehabilitation

1. An apparatus for finger exercise, comprising:

a collection of firm, slightly flexible, varying sized rings, each of which is designed to be associated with a middle phalanx of a finger and a distal phalanx of a thumb;

a groove, in an outer center surface surrounding each said ring; and

a rubber band like tension device, consisting of a series of seamless interconnected elastic closed loops, in which the closed loops are wrapped around each said ring and inserted into the said groove of each ring, connecting the rings together to form the said apparatus.

2. The apparatus, according to claim 1 , wherein said rings further comprise:

parallel cut outs or slices on a side of each ring to allow fingers or a thumb of a hand to move more freely and not interfere with each other while exercising using said apparatus; and

a cut out or slice on the bottom or each ring to further minimize interference while exercising using said apparatus,

wherein said rings are intended to be inserted on the fingers or thumb with a rounded or non-sliced top portion on the top side of the hand with the bottom sliced side on a palm side of the hand,

wherein said rings will not inhibit blood flow or circulation when placed on the fingers or thumb as what occurs with other elastic only finger exercise devices.

3. The apparatus, according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein said apparatus is used for the purposes of increasing finger, hand and forearm, strength, speed, agility, endurance, and overall grip strength, while practicing any musical instrument requiring the use of the fingers and thumb with special regards to guitar, piano, bass, trumpet, banjo, saxophone, flute, piccolo; while practicing any sports activity with special regards to football, baseball, basketball and hockey; while performing any rehabilitation therapy activity with special regards to injuries to the hand, wrist, forearm, shoulder or fingers and thumb; and while performing general activities and exercises requiring the use of the hands and fingers and thumb; said apparatus comprising said rubber band like tension device with three to five seamless interconnected elastic closed loops and from three to five said rings placed on any consecutive digits between the distal interphalangeal joint and the proximal interphalangeal joint on the fingers and on the distal phalanx of the thumb, depending on the desired musical instrument, sports activity, rehabilitation therapy or general exercise activity.

4. The apparatus according to claim 1 or 2 wherein the size of said varying sized rings in the apparatus, once properly sized to each finger or thumb, can remain constant while the practitioner can use varying amounts of resistance using multiple thicknesses of said rubber band like tension device, while utilizing the said apparatus.

5. The apparatus according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein said apparatus provides positive and negative resistance in any and all directions that the fingers or thumb travel when utilizing said apparatus, allowing each finger or thumb to be exercised in a similar manner which mimics the movement of muscles, tendons and ligaments, during the exercise or practicing activity, as what would occur without using said apparatus.

6. The apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the size of said varying sized rings in the apparatus, once properly sized to each finger or thumb, can remain constant while the practitioner can use varying amounts of resistance using multiple thicknesses of said rubber band like tension device, while utilizing the said apparatus.

7. The apparatus according to claim 6 wherein said apparatus provides positive and negative resistance in any and all directions that the fingers or thumb travel when utilizing said apparatus, allowing each finger or thumb to be exercised in a similar manner which mimics the movement of muscles, tendons and ligaments, during the exercise or practicing activity, as what would occur without using said apparatus.

8. An apparatus for finger exercise, comprising:

a collection of firm, slightly flexible, varying sized rings, each of which is designed to be associated with a middle phalanx of a finger and a distal phalanx of a thumb;

a groove, in an outer center surface surrounding each said ring;

a rubber band like tension device, consisting of a series of seamless interconnected elastic closed loops, in which the closed loops are wrapped around each said ring and inserted into the said groove of each ring, connecting the rings together to form the said apparatus,

wherein the size of said varying sized rings in the apparatus, once properly sized to each finger or thumb, can remain constant while the practitioner can use varying amounts of resistance using multiple thicknesses of said rubber band like tension device, while utilizing the said apparatus, and

wherein said apparatus provides positive and negative resistance in any and all directions that the fingers or thumb travel when utilizing said apparatus, allowing each finger or thumb to be exercised in a similar manner which mimics the movement of muscles, tendons and ligaments, during the exercise or practicing activity, as what would occur without using said apparatus.

9. An apparatus for finger exercise, comprising:
