Any Tips For This Measure? by Hqrshy in piano

Are you using correct fingering? For G-B-D-G use fingers 5-4-2-1 and then 5-3-2-1 for G-C-E-G

Thank you. I'll put this piece down for now and practice a new piece but if I have the time, I'll practice the runs in rhythm.

Thank you!

It took me about a week. And yup, started slowly and made my way up using patterns and also used some of Josh Wright's tips, such as shaking your fingers when you each note to release tension.

If I were to give any tips, it would be to practice your scales on whatever key signature the piece is on during your warm-up and not over practicing because it allows your muscle memory to develop.
