study pinky ownly glisses for a pretty long time, try to find the spot on the keys that glides best, and then add your thumb. A light piano definitely helps btw.

old thread about this. I seems to have problems with this as well. Although it's like sometimes I get it and sometimes I don't.

That's the price you pay for being moderate in everything. See, if I were you, my name would be Ilovepie. But that's just me.
