Basic technical training for the early level student.(Pedagogy Saturday X: THE ART OF TEACHING)
I started this session by having the audience imagine that they were 7-year-old beginning piano students. The group was led in a variety of warm-ups and finger/hand calisthenics. These included:
1. "stretch-grabs" (fingers widely extended and then fingers clasped around the thumbs.
2. "Os" (forming a perfect circle between the thumb and each finger tip
3. raising the shoulders to touch the ears
4. "fly swatters" (slow forearm movement from the elbow)
5. "knocks" (moving the hand from the wrist in a knocking motion)
6. "clusters" (finger nails lined in a row with the thumb gently curved and touching the side of finger 2)
