 Thumb Position
Author: shaunm

I just started playing and I haven't been able to play notes using the octave key very well. But I was practiced for about 3 hours yesterday and made a breakthrough where I was able to play the higher notes mixed with the lower ones much better. I'm not sure I'm holding my left-hand thumb correctly. Can someone tell me what the correct left thumb position is for the thumb hole and "octave" key? Should the thumb point toward my chin, where I just rock it forward to push up on the octave key with the tip? Or is there another way? Thanks.

Shaun
