Here is lesson No. 1 – Right Hand Walking or Alternating Right Hand Fingers. It’s a great exercise for working on your fundamental right hand technique. Beginner students should just aim for control and go slowly. Advanced students may wish to bring the metronome up to 120 beats tot he quarter note. If you don’t know your finger names on your right hand here they are:

i = index
m = middle
a = angular (ring finger)
p = thumb

The combinations for this exercise are: i-m / m-i / m-a / a-m with both rest-stroke and free-stroke.
