The thumb can cause quite a lot of trouble for pianists as it is anatomically different from the other four fingers. This tutorial presents four exercises from Tonebase courses that help to improve the dexterity, independence and ease with the thumb. This tutorial is especially good for beginner or intermediate students, and you can playalong with the exercises as they go. Robert Fleitz hosts this video featuring lessons from Boris Berman, Penelope Roskell, Seymour Bernstein, Dominic Cheli, and Orli Shaham
