1.1 Tapping, jumping with fingers, sliding with 1 finger at a time (from beginner’s stage) 1.2 Tapping one finger while keeping the other 3 down. Make finger placements increasingly difficult/awkward (cf Dounis!) 1.3 Jumping across strings with one finger while other 3 are kept down (ditto) 1.4 Sliding one finger while keeping the other 3 down. When tapping, count in groups, and count on the “upward” (“lifting away”) motion of the finger, not the “placing” action. 2. Sevcik Opus 1 Part 1 3. Triplet groups in chosen key, starting on A on G-string, moving into as high a position as possible before going to next string 4. Playing a 2-voice pattern with quavers in one voice and semiquavers in the other. [A useful application of Fisher’s concept “To play rhythmically evenly, you have to raise and drop the fingers unevenly” (p 119) – i.e. a new note sounds the moment a finger is raised, but if a note has to be played by placing/dropping the finger, the dropping action has to start before the new note sounds. 5. Scales and arpeggio’s! 6. Kreutzer 9 (also starting on 2nd finger!) 7. Fisher Basics: Part D (Left Hand Page 89-144)
