This will help you learn the diatonic chords of E major. Watch the crossover with the left hand and the change of clef in measure 11. The fingering is 531 in the LH and 135 in the RH. ![]()
Short answer is no. The first exception is writing the note name over a particular note you have incorrectly played numerous times. I can't think of other exceptions.
What to do? 1. Practice naming the notes aloud before you play and then as you play. 2. Play super slow. 3. Practice in small chunks. 4. Study musical rudiments, also known as music theory. 5. Practice sight reading using the Four-star sightreading books from RCM. 6. Learn to clap rhythm and count aloud. That should do it. David I'm always trying innovative ideas with students to keep it fresh. This warm-up assumes you know the correct fingerings for each position. (The right scale at the 10th starts with 31234 etc. The broken chords and arpeggios in the right start with finger 1.) This exercise should be transposed into a different key at each practice session. Tempo markings are only suggestions. If I can help you, call me. David ![]()
