Finger independence

Post by Mailvishy » Fri Oct 16, 2020 8:30 am

Hi...This is Vishy. A 40 year newbie to piano.
What are some of the techniques to improve finger independence? Particularly, my ring finger doesn’t seem to have any independence and works only in conjunction with the middle finger.

Hi Vishy

It comes with practice and doing exercises like the scales or Hanon (both available under "courses", when you are far enough in the Bootcamps).

Apart from that something like "A dozen a day" comes to mind: https://www.amazon.com/Dozen-Day-Book-O ... 0711954313 if you are willing to do work outside of PGS.
