Hi Everyone! I thought you might enjoy a short sample video of me working with my student Bella on passing over the thumb.
Notice in this example how the fluidity of the arpeggio increases when rotation is added to the pass over the thumb. This rotation can be increased as shown in the video by "cocking back" and rotating in the opposite direction of the arpeggio before passing over the thumb. Notice how the fluidity improves on each attempt and then the ease of the final "fast" attempt once all these motions are integrated!
Please enjoy this video! And let me know what your favorite part is! Mine is the last try when everything clicks and we get a nice fluid pass of the thumb over :-)
