Piano World Home Page Forums Our Most Popular Forums Adult Beginners Forum Absolute beginner question

I didn't know that this is an argument that is commonly made, and I was not thinking of beginner books. I was also not thinking of students who carelessly use any fingering in a hurry and who would use this as an excuse. This is something coming from my own studies and when I learned this it made a lot of sense to me.

I think we're in different scenarios.

Good fingering is important because it makes or breaks piano playing, but the fingering prewritten in the book may not always be suitable for a student. In that case students may rework the fingering, often with their teacher's help. I think that you said something like that in your earlier post too.

So many staccato notes! I can't help you with the question but... This score looks like "Dueling Banjos" Is it? That's what I heard in my head when I looked at it.

Mmm ... I don't know. It's just a lesson from my Michael Aaron Piano Course book. Maybe he got his inspiration from Dueling Banjos?
