New Drills!

Yuliya (who celebrated the 20th anniv of her arrival in the US yesterday, remembering that she had at that moment $314 and spoke no English) has taught me the "Russian" way to play minor scales, in which the hands do 2 octaves, then diverge, with the right hand continuing the melodic minor and the left descending with the natural. And she taught me a way to do arpeggios in which you begin by doing every conceivable arpeggio that uses (in whatever inversion) the same base note. I'll start with C, thank you.
