Title: General Question about Finger Exercises
Post by: godservant on August 16, 2009, 03:50:57 AM

Could anyone out there give me some finger exercises to help increase speed and accuracy.  I only know one, someone showed me a while back at church...it's quite simple, you start on C, and skip D, but play all the rest of the white notes, then walk back and start on D, skip E, and play all rest of the white notes, etc.   I can do that one pretty well with both hands, fast, but I know if I can do it fast it must be pretty simple !!!  (smile)  I'm still somewhat of a beginner..just curious if there are some more exercises out there...Could someone point me in the right direction to a website, book, CD, anything...Thanks in advance.

So, why not just learn to read sheet music? Then, u can no longer have this as an excuse not to take advantage of all the music out there. ;)
