Re: Student with short LH ring finger

First, thanks for all of your responses.

She was putting her left hand perpendicular on the clarinet, and it worked, sort of. She doesn't have a lot of "pad" on her stub finger. Once she started working on faster technical studies using the left hand pinky we found that, in order to cover the left hand ring finger hole, she had to move her hand in so close that she can't reach back with the left pinky to the alternate low F#/high C# key as well as the low F/high C key.

She is going to look into getting a prosethetic.

This is difficult to describe. I hope it makes sense. Any thoughts on this?
