Suggested Right Hand Fingering:

These fingerings for the right hand come from the suggestion of Eliot Fisk. There are only eight left hand fingering
patterns. Each pattern is practiced daily.Be sure to practice all the possible right hand two finger combinations. Do not
neglect the right hand little finger "c"(chiquito). Use of the little finger will help balance the muscles of the right hand.Pick
one leading pattern per day. Practice rest and free stroke.

Right hand combinations:

Indice leading: im ia ic ip
Medio leading: mi ma mc mp
Anular leading: ai am ac ap
Chiquito leading: ci cm ca cp
Pulgar leading: pi pm pa pc
