Romana_Hartmetz_webHow do you know whether to start a piece with your i finger or your m finger?
You will most typically start with i, however it is really situational. If you have to do a backwards string crossing to start with i you should choose to start with m. Remember, you can easily repeat a right hand finger on a long note value to get out of a difficult spot.
