I received an email from a student who asked a very good question,
and thought I would post the question here, so everyone can benefit from the answer:
Dear Lisa,
I like your method of teaching. It’s all coming back to me from years ago when I took lessons for a couple of years. My only question is if it’s possible with online lessons to learn the correct fingering as you get into more complex pieces? I wouldn’t want to pick up bad habits that would be difficult to unlearn later on.
ANSWERED BY LISA:
I am so glad you asked that. One of my pet peeves is fingering. If you follow my instructions, and not ignore the fingering I teach, you will be just fine. You are responsible when you are teaching yourself to make sure you follow instructions carefully since there is no teacher to actually “see” you and correct you. However, the instructions are thorough, and there are videos as well for you to compare what you are doing with what is supposed to happen.
