Sadistic piano study book - each exercise is designed to work on a specific finger, or combination.
Repeating figures - while raising the pitch one scale step - until you've travelled up two octaves or so. Then, turn it around and perform a matching figure (one semi-tone at a time) back down to where you started.

Repeat for each key signature (Joe can do it in all 48 scales). Both hands, in unison. to a metronome. precision valued over speed...but speed is good, too.

then, laugh at tuba players who worry about their pinkies...

Guaranteed to get Mom to agree that practice time is over...

First one is c-e-a-g-f-g-f-e d-f-b... still in my fingers 50 years later.
