Subj: Re: [kl] Best Etudes/Method for Learning Scales?
Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2004 21:13:07 -0500

Dear Mike,
I am just now reading your original email about scales. I see that
you are not actually learning them for the first time. I personally
cannot imagine having to look at a scale book, like the Baermann III, to
play my scales. To me, it is so much more fun just to play them. If I am
having a problem with a stiff finger or a badly behaving pinky, I can
stop and isolate the problem as I am working on the scales.
Sometimes I like to ascend for one octave, starting on low E, then
lift my finger up to throat F for the decension in F, then ascend on F#
Major, descend on G, and so forth, all the way to double high C. ANNIE
