Lookin' for Advice on "Finger Speed"...

[muzikal_minstrel]

"God is good all the time, and ALL the time, God is good!..." lol. Well, here's the thing: I'm pretty much "fluent" in everything else on the keys, BUT when it comes to havin' "speedy" fingers w/my left hand, I'm "sort of okay," if you feel me.  I don't know many speed drills besides basic scaling, and the VERY FREQUENT praise run workout from worship service, lol... Feel free to "ENLIGHTEN"..

If you havent already, buy a metronome and make it your best friend.  Master a particular speed (beat per minute or bpm) on the metronome and then increase the speed.

Along with Hanon and a metronome, I recommend Isadore Philip's "The Complete Book of Piano Technic" This has virtuoso drills geared specifically towards finger speed that personally help me more than Hanon and Czerny's technique books.

Where can one go to find this book? I can't seem to locate it online.

Ugh!! My left hand sucks for doing runs. I only use it to play chords. I am using the Hanon exercises currently. I can feel a difference but it is still slow going.

I quoted the wrong title, the actual title is "Complete School of Technic for the Piano" by Isidor Phillip. I see some copies are on www.amazon.com, I'm sure there are probably others on www.sheetmusicplus.com.
