Correct fingering is determined by context, where is that hand coming from and where is it going next on the keyboard? So you read/play through a few times and figure out the optimal fingering to make sure you are not tripping over your hands. Teachers tend not to explain this until the student points out that the correct fingering for that chord was different in another piece.
- smeej 4y agoI guess the problem is that I'm slow when I'm plucking my way through something, so it takes me quite awhile to get going fast enough that there's clearly movement from one chord to the next, rather than stopping and resetting. Maybe I'm just trying to restart at the wrong level.
- ofalkaed 4y agoAs long as you are progressing I would not worry too much about it. Mix some easier pieces in so you also get practice at playing in/on time but keep at that harder stuff, you will not progress as a musician without pushing your boundaries. Personally I always have at least one piece which is completely beyond my ability that I work on, sometimes I give up on them, sometimes I get them down and I always learn a great deal from them.
