HELLO, is it correct to teach student to move the wrist up and down,like in Chopin first Scherzo,right at the beginning after the first two chords,telling the student to start with a low wrist and towards the A flat note to take the wrist up? if so,to what purposes the wrist move up and down,is is because there are black keys involved or in order to produce a different sound? thanks a lot
