Pinky Exercises
Developing accurate, independent motion
of the little fingers of each hand is critical to achieving
solid technique for notes in the middle of the staff and
passages over the break. These pinky finger exercises will
reveal any weaknesses and work on evenness and dexterity.
Each exercise is defined by the
finger’s pattern of motion. The pattern for each
accompanies the notated version. Do as written, then reverse
the direction, playing the exercise backwards. This will cover
all patterns for each side.
