Left Hand Pinkie Problems

Author: Darrwall

I am aged 75, started learning the clarinet 3 years ago, and have made good progress. But my left hand pinkie is holding me back. It will not land as firmly and precisely as it should on each of the 4 levers that it operates. It is weakest on the levers that operate C sharp (bottom of the treble clef) and B (just above the break).

I would be very grateful for advice as to how I might:
1. Strengthen that finger; and
2. Make it land more with more precision on each of the 4 levers.

I should add that I am right-handed and that there are no problems with the right hand pinkie.
