Hi, I have a pupil who has very short fingers. She has real problems when crossing the break in playing B especially as she can hardly ever cover the thumb hole and use the little finger key at the same time. She has similar problems with C as her fingers won`t stretch apart enough. Any suggestions as to how to get her fingers to stretch or are there key extensions available? She`s getting very despondant.
There`s no chance of her growing as she`s 40+!
Thanks for reading. All suggestions welcome.
