A short original exercise for finding a relaxed five-finger position. Place your right thumb on C4 and your left little finger on C3.
1. A gentle climb
Play one column per slow count. Release each note before the next column. Keep your shoulders relaxed.
LH: C3 - E3 -
RH: C4 D4 E4 G4
2. Find your way home
Let both hands land together in the final column.
LH: G3 - D3 C3
RH: F4 E4 D4 C4
Practice idea
Try each hand separately, then put them together. Repeat both phrases three times at a pace where every note feels comfortable.
