Exercices without piano

Place your hand on the table (or whatever surface) as though you were resting your
fingers on the keys. "Play" the sequence 1-3-5-2-4, repeating it over and over. Things to
work on are your rhythm, make sure that each "note" you play is even.

(For instance, 1-3--2 are more dominant fingers, but make sure ---2-4 are doing their
share of the work!) Work on being able to keep that up for several minutes, keeping the
1-3-5-2-4 progression intact.

Rest all five fingers on a surface, in playing position, and then lift up and down the fourth
finger in a very relaxed and isolated way. The goal is to increase the height of the lift as
much as possible, while keeping the other fingers so relaxed that they don't move.
As #2, rest all five fingers on a flat surface, let the weight of the arm be anchored at the
fingertips, and then shift that weight from finger to finger, all without lifting the fingers
from the surface. Great exercise to remind yourself how relaxed your arm should be,
and how much weight should be felt at the fingertips.
Similarly, do pull ups with your finger, while completely relaxing everything else. Seated
at a table, hook your finger on the table's edge, relax the arm completely, then firm up
the hook little by little, and pull up the weight of your arm. If done right, your neighbor
should be able to push your elbow, and your arm should just dangle back and forth on
its own. This is much harder than you think, but helps to reinforce #2 and #3.
