Basic Blues For Piano Exercise 19

Exercise 19 introduces a new fingering pattern for the right hand using fingers 2 through 5. It couples the fingers 2 and 4 and fingers 3 and 5. When I originally worked through this, I had no problem using fingers 2 and 4, however, fingers 3 and 5 were challenging. After repeating the exercise, my problems with went away.  Measure 8 is most challenging because it really works the relation between the middle finger and the pinky. 

Left Hand:
The is no change in the left hand; it plays the same bassline as in exercise 18. 

Keep playing! If you need a copy of the book, please use the information below to get yourself a copy.
