Hello folks,
How would you help a student learn to how to play with multiple dynamics in the same hand? Take for example:
C major triad in root position using the right hand. Finger 1 is on C, 3 on E, and 5 on G. We would like the student to be able to play C pianissimo, E forte, and G pianissimo as well. The forte note might just as easily have been the C or the G. All the notes are to be play simultaneously, not rolled.
What would you do to help a student learn to be able to accomplish the above task consistently? I have them practice each finger separately at the desired dynamic level, then put them back together. That helps to some degree, but I was hoping you could help me come up with some other strategies.
Thank you all,
Steven
