Re: Exercices for relaxed fingers

Here's an exercise I've used myself and in my teaching. Start with your fingers on the F on the bottom of the staff. Very slowly lift your first finger up as high as possible and then come back down again very slowly to the E. I'm talking very slow and relaxed. Very high, up and down, and very slow. Then do the same from E to D, lifting the second finger only, then D To C lifting the 3rd finger only etc until you get to the lowest notes. Then start again but this time always stay on the F and do the same but to the D, then the C then the Bb etc. so you raise and lower more than one finger at a time till you go from F to the low F or E. You can repeat starting from the E instead of the F as your starting point. Or change daily. It takes concentration and a few minutes but I must emphasize it only does good if you lift your fingers very high and go up and down extremely slow and RELAXED.
