Technique
Book
Now
your students will have the technical tools needed to
achieve artistic performances. They will encounter skills
in four areas-playing naturally (physical aspects),
moving freely (around the keyboard), playing beautifully
(tone production) and playing artistically. The technical
goals are accomplished through three types of activities-patterned
exercises with necessary repetitions to make the technique
feel natural, artistic etudes that showcase the student's
technique in an artistic musical setting and appealing
and descriptive exercises called Technique Tools. The
nine Technique Tools in Level 1A relate to relaxed shoulders,
arm weight, moving freely, strong fingertips, finger
weights, repeated notes, thumb position, finger independence
and gentle hand rock. Each page in the Technique Book
correlates with a specific page in the Lesson Book.
