I recently had the misfortune to fracture my left arm whilst skiing (i really don't want to go any further into this-let's just say I "fell on it"). It has made me realise the extent to which i relied on my left arm-i find it difficult to reach the higher notes now. In the long run, I think this will be advantageous-if I can wean myself off having to use a strong left arm I feel I will emerge a better player. However, does anyone have any ideas how I should practice now-and how to maximise my practice time?

Many thanks,

Chris
