In order to achieve speed and evenness, both vital for later development, you must practice alternating right hand finger combinations in scale and single line melodies. Each of the exercises to follow should be played first with im , then ma, then ia.
A very important aspect of right hand finger action during rest stroke passages is for the fingers to perform a walking motion. As i plucks, m is close to the string and ready to strike. As i springs away after resting on the adjacent string (previously explained) m proceeds to strike while i waits to start over again Used continuo ously this sets up the "walking" action.
In the following exercises and studies use the rest stroke throughout. Alternate using im and then repeat with ma and ia . Say the names of the notes being played out loud, as this helps you to memorize them.
Repeat Exercise 15 using rna & then ia.
Repeat Exercise 16 using rna & then ia.
