I'm following this discussion with great interest.

Robass, the penny exercise (and other similar routines) is good training, but moving the 5th finger isn't a problem for me.

Skygardener's comments are quite the opposite of what my teacher recommends, though I'm beginning to think hand-position isn't essential in this case. I think Ken is right in saying that the 4th and 5th fingers should move together, implying that the 5th finger should be near the C-key *before* the 4th finger lifts.

As soon as I can I'll fuel the debate with some pictures.
