Alfred 27628 Premier Piano Course Technique Book 1B

In Technique 1B, the technical tools and artistic skills learned in Technique 1A get a boost. Four new technique tools are introduced for smooth legato, crisp staccato, rising wrist, and amazing phrasing. Patterned exercises offer repeated practice to make technique feel natural, and artistic etudes show off a student's skills in an expressive musical setting. New at this level are Hands - Together Workshops for developing hand - coordination skills. Each page in the Technique Book corresponds to a specific page in the Lesson Book. PLU: AP4646

To use this book, start by going through the new technique tools one by one. Practice the patterned exercises regularly to get the techniques down. When you reach the Hands - Together Workshops, take your time to develop the hand - coordination skills. Try to play the artistic etudes expressively. Make sure to refer to the corresponding pages in the Lesson Book for better understanding. As for maintenance, keep the book in a dry place and avoid folding the pages. If you spill something on it, gently blot the area with a dry cloth.
