Fingers slipping

Hi, apologies for the potential vent but I feel quite at a loss.

I’ve been taking lessons for the past 8 months now, but every time, my teacher has to scold me for not keeping my fingers in place when I have to do big stretches. In this video for example, I cannot for the life of me, figure out a way to keep 1 & 2 touching while I put 3 down. The music calls for C to be played right after D.

I have tried stretches, I have tried moving my thumb. Moving my elbow both back and forth.

Everything I do just feels like I’m only ever adding even more tension and I’m not able to make the reach.

Hello, I’m a dumbo and booked this event but didn’t realize it was in Boston (I’m in California 😭)

Let me know if anyone wants these tickets and I’ll send them over! Paid $55 but I’ll give away for $30
