@Marc M Hey Marc! I would recommend a more neutral wrist - it does seem a bit high which isn't doing your thumb any favors as it is already short, and the high wrist takes it farther from the key!…

Re: Group 2
@Marc M Nice work! I like that you specifically stop and work on the parts of the scale that are weaker. No need to start from the "top" each time! I notice that you say some of these are "hard for…

Re: Group 2
@Marc M Yep stopping the fingers is very difficult: for example ending trills, stopping trills is difficult and part of the art of the trill! Sure, the 2 note grouping refers to the speed boost of 2…

Re: Group 2
@Gail Starr Yep that is right, the bookend notes technically don't induce speed improvement, it is that 2 note group in the middle where the speed really is!

Re: Group 2
@Aline Valade You should always use the C major fingering that is standardized! So for the RH you should always make sure that C = 1, D = 2, E = 3, etc... and stick to that fingering always!

Re: Group 2
@Nina BR Nice work! Notice the groups that you struggle with most of the scale, and isolate them! No need to play the scale every time through. I recommend going to hands separate,…

Re: Group 4
@David I noticed that some of the groupings are not quite as crisp as others, for example, the 2nd group. Make sure to notice that and work on "ironing out" them! Specifically,…

Re: Group 4

Re: Group 3
@Conrad Winn This is correct! Stick to the fingering that is the "core fingering" and do not switch the fingering! The whole point is to find the "friction" points, and practicing "ironing them out!"
