Subj: [kl] Fingers eveness! How??
Date: Thu, 11 Mar 1999 12:02:39 -0500

Hi everyone,

I have been really frustrated lately with my practices because my
fingers seemed to have a mind of their own. I know it is all my fault, but
I was wondering if there are any exercises I could practice to get
my fingers to be even on scales in running passages? Another thing is, I
am VERY tense when I play. I am so tense that sometimes, my muscles
(biceps) hurts when I'm done practicing for an hour or so. Is there any
suggestions as to how to relax myself? I know the relaxation and the
uneven fingers are directly correlated. So if anyone with experience could
suggests something I can do, I would really appreciate it.

TIA! :)

Soo
