Cossman Agility - regular hand shape

This exercise by Bernard Cossman is probably the most widely known one for finger agility development. This modified version includes the ascending and descending pattern added by the CelloMind. First try just the left hand alone slowly, observing all of the fingers using the 'block finger' approach. 'Block fingering', in contrast to 'independent fingering', is when all the non-playing fingers behind the playing finger move in sync with the playing finger. Thus they are lifted together and strike the same string together at the same exact time. When going from a higher finger to a lower finger, all fingers should be lifted together in a circular plucking motion to reveal the new note. Block fingering is predominantly used in cello playing.
