Acheiving Basic Finger Functionality

Many players have handicapped fingers that struggle to play. It begins in the beginning. My "Foundation Ex" give full, basic functionality to all students.

Here is an interesting video of a student working on these exercises, and making a common error with his 3rd finger. It is reacting with tension each time 4 is used. If not corrected, this would be a big, and "forever" problem............

He doesn't know it (yet), but it is because particulars fingers are not coming off at the right time.

Check it out.....… Continue

Student Pushes Through Shearer Classical Book

I have a student who, like many, was wasting time by getting too hung up on each piece in the Shearer book (which I use as a textbook for my classical course). Even after he had done a good job, he kept working at it to try to get it as fast as he heard somebody else play it

That is fine, but he was neglecting going forward, which is very important at this stage.

So I have been pushing him. He sent me a video of his results after 2 weeks with 2 new pieces. They are quite good. Here they are ar… Continue
