Thank you very much for this video. My daughter’s teacher assigned this lesson and I did not know from where to start to help her. After I saw your video I was able to understand that it is all about the hand and not a mere exercise on finding notes. Thank you!

Thank you, I’m learning from books but they have their limitations, I know what notes to hit but not how to use my hands.Hopefully your instruction will mean when I eventually see a teacher I won’t upset them to much.

Does anyone know why she is starting at middle C with the left finger 1 and not an octave lower with left finger 5?
