#008 I'm chatting today about the one thing I've been seeing a lot in my lessons lately. The left-hand thumb is SO important when it comes to having good and consistent intonation. If you have been finding that for some reason your extensions just are never in tune, or that your pinky is generally out of tune make sure you double-check the placement of your thumb. Teachers often chat about this in the beginning, but over time we tend to "forget" to mention it. But I have been noticing students even in only Book 2 of Suzuki really struggle if they have not addressed this. 
Have you been noticing anything odd about the form and shape of your left hand? Join in on the discussion!
