Hi,

That's great that you both are starting in your 40s too.

One of the things that I've discovered recently is that practicing on paper really helps me make progress quickly on the instrument.

So, for example, I might only be able to fit in a small amount of practise actually on the instrument, but when I'm sitting next to my son watching him do his homework I can sit and write out scales and write the fingerings below them on the paper. That way I gradually memorise the scales and the fingerings and when I come back to the instrument I find that they come much more automatically, even though I haven't had as much time to practice as I would like.

I write fingerings like this:

1TR
1
1
-
1
1

-
C#

or

0TR
1
1
-
1
0
0

Where T is the thumb key and R is the register key.
