 Student right thumb problem
Author: ACCA 
Date:   2020-02-25 15:47

I have a 10 yr old student (girl) at grade 2ish level who habitually supports the RH trill keys with her index finger and has her rh thumb in an incorrect position. We've discussed this numerous times. Would a strap help correct this issue? I can't tell if the problem is supporting the weight of the instrument or just focus/concentration/determination to keep correct posture.
A not unrelated issue is all fingers tend to fly too far away from keys rather than stay just above them. Again, we discuss this every lesson and she can play with correct posture but habitually deteriorates right away.
Any tips?
