Etudes with Technique - Preparatory

Learning etudes at the same time as technique develops a healthy, natural, and effective mastery of the Piano from the very beginning. Each book is divided into units, and each unit focuses on one technical concept. Technical concepts are introduced using imagery to help the student understand the gesture needed to create the correct technique. Following the text and the imagery, short technical exercises and several etudes reinforce each particular technique. This method allows students to master each technique and make it a habit, providing the foundation for effective, natural and relaxed performances of their repertoire. Includes a reference guide to all the etudes andthe composers.
