Re: Grace note fingerings

Sunny,

You might try thumb and the first fingers of each hand (1+1) for the D# (bridge key must be operating properly) since you have a rest preceding the grace note. Then all you have to do is lift first finger of the RH and you have the E.

The more conventual way might be T 1 2 for the D# plus the sliver key but that requires raising the second finger of the LH and the sliver key at the same time.

I'd recommend learning both as you might find the 1+1 a good one to have in reserve.

PS A good way to reinforce the learning process is to look for opportunities to use alternate fingerings so you get accustomed to them.
