[musictlk] introduction and a question

[Julie C. Vogt]

Your teacher is probably right about the fingering.  If you've even read 
music in the past and pay attention to your fingering, you probably will 
find fingering that is more proper because you have read it and studied 
fingering.  Especially scales and arpeggios and things like that are easier 
with proper fingering.
