Re: My Left Pinkie*

I studied with Wollwage back in the seventies and he said, "just take C on the right, it's easier."

That's how I came to be "dependent" on the right C. And a lot of my students tend that way too. When I suggest sometimes that it can even be smoother using the left, I get flack for that.

But I still like the idea of using left C (and low F as well) whenever possible to build up facility rather than letting the left go fallow. Sorta like mixing it up on a scooter so that one calf doesn't get ridiculously over developed (if anyone remembers scooters).
