Automatic finger control Seventh Edition

"Automatic Finger Control" by U.S. School of Music is an early 20th-century instructional manual where the goal is to accelerate musical skills through a method that trains finger muscles for independent movement and quick coordination with the brain. Suitable for both beginners and experienced musicians, this guide stresses the fundamentals of efficient practice routines and techniques. It includes a structured set of exercises meant for daily practice, preferably twice a day, to develop muscle memory and agility. Each exercise targets specific muscle groups in the fingers and forearms, highlighting the significance of focus and consistent practice to boost skill. These lessons increase in difficulty while solidifying previously learned content, helping students develop both strength and agility in their finger movements, making it geared toward enabling quick and effective learning on any musical instrument through improved finger control and coordination.
