  DescriptionWatch the video performance and read the music in the download pdf. Work out how the zigzag line in the exercise music shows what the pattern is, and how the pattern creeps up and down the keyboard. Practice hands separately first, keeping the back of the hand flat, the fingers slightly curved and the hands well up over the keys. You are looking for a light, even, confident-sounding performance. You are aiming to develop speed and stamina, but don't let strain build up in your hands and wrists. Little and often is the key.
