Kathi,
My teacher fully believed in an exercise that I still use to
warm-up with. It goes like this:
e-f-e-f-f#-f-e-f-f#-g-f#-f-e-f-f#-g-g#-g-f#-f-e and so forth as
high as you want to go. played at a fairly rapid tempo it requires a bit
of dexerity and helps with all of those wonderful chromatic fingerings we
all love.
