It’s SUPPOSED to – and this is what we tell our students – but at times that fingering won’t work anyway …

Having said that, I am a STICKLER for learning the fingering in a new piece. Each. And. Every. Time.

A thorough knowledge of scales is invaluable for analysis and learning/memorizing pieces in less time, but there are so many better ways of developing technique than mastering some arbitrary technical exercises.

Magnifying strengths seems a better usage of the precious weeks leading up to exams than elevating weakness to mediocrity.
