  1. FingeringandMemory To Teach is to Serve by Thomas Mastroianni

  2. Conventional FingeringScales and Arpeggios

  3. Physiological Principles Long fingers on black (b), short fingers on white (w) In crossing over the thumb, w to b is often shorter distance than w to w Crossings take time (slowest scale is 454545)

  4. Physiological Principles Arch at the hand knucle brings fingertips closer together. Finger repetition on the same note may cause fatigue but for short bursts may be more efficient. Excessive hand displacement can affect tone.

  5. Scales

  6. Chromatic Scales • Chromatic – thumb on alternate white notes (slowest = 131312313131) 8 - note Scales • 1234 1234 / or other 4 note combinations such as 3412 3412 (as RH from Ab)

  7. ArpeggiosTriads RH LH • White note root 5-3-2-1 1-2-3-5 • Black not root 3-1-4-2 3-1-2-4 • All black – same as all white • Bb minor 2-3-1- 3-2-1-

  8. Arpeggios7th Chords Black note beginning: • RH – Thumb on the first white note ascending • LH – Thumb on the last white note ascending

  9. 8ves , 6ths, 3rdsChromatic thirds • 8ves and 6ths -- thumb plus 5 -- 4 on black ? / ulnar deviation • 3rds 1-2 /1-3 / 2-4 / 3-5 • 3rds 1-4 / 2-3 combinations • Chromatic 3rds or 4ths 1&5 always on white/ 2&3 always on black 4 always on b & e or on f & c For example top note RH asc. From Eb 345353534535 bottom RH asc. From C 121221212122

  10. Memory

  11. Physiology • Neural Pathways – Memory is change in brain configuration. • Encoding and repetition • Neurotransmitters and emotion • Cognitive memory vs Cerebellar memory Conscious vs Procedural (automatic) • Semantic vs episodic memory

  12. Understanding Forgetting • Forgetting is a blessing • Interference – lack of clarity • Pathway misdirection • Interruption of automatic (procedural) pathways • Recall out of context • Anxiety

  13. Analysis • Direction of cognitive memory • Similarity and interference • Semantic Memory and Musicianship
