 Re: Student right thumb problem

We just had a very good session. I've decided against the strap as I have a feeling it will become a crutch that supports bad habits rather than good ones.
She was playing C scales up and down across the break this morning for the first time. Always a rewarding moment as a teacher when a student gets that far! So I think it's a matter of motivation and focus, we talked quite a lot about how to structure her practice sessions and for now I am heavily annotating her scores e.g. with reminders about finger positions on certain measures/passages.

Thanks again everyone for the input, this has been fascinating!
