Special Practice - “For a Steady Left Hand”
To make sure that fingers 1 and 5 of your left hand don’t waver too much, try placing a coin on the back of
your left hand. Don’t let the coin fall off while you’re playing!
Play the last C and E softly.
Left hand
What’s going to happen?
How long can you keep this up?
Do your best to complete the exercise.
The trick is to keep it steady!
“The Steady Left Hand Meets the Relaxed Right Hand”
Is that coin still on the back of your left hand, even after adding the right hand?
Let’s try adding the right hand to the left-hand part you practiced in Step 03.
If you got through the last exercise without giving up, this will be easy!
