Alfred 32077 Premier Piano Course Technique Book 2A

Technique Book 2A builds on and broadens the technical and artistic skills learned in Technique Books 1A and 1B. It introduces seven new key skills: dynamic shaping, thumb crossing, rich - sounding chords, two - note slurs, smooth melodies, harmony between melody and accompaniment, and damper pedal footwork. Artistic Etudes let students show off their skills in an expressive musical context, and Hands - Together Workshops help develop the skills for coordinated two - hand playing. Each page in this Technique Book corresponds to a specific page in the Lesson Book. PLU: AP5183

How to use: Start by reading through the introduction to understand the new skills. Then, work through each new technique one by one, practicing slowly and gradually increasing the speed. When you reach the Artistic Etudes and Hands - Together Workshops, try to apply the skills you've learned. Remember to use the corresponding pages in the Lesson Book for more in - depth learning. Notes: Don't rush through the new techniques. Make sure you master each one before moving on. When playing, keep a good posture to avoid fatigue. Maintenance: Keep the book in a dry and clean place. If it gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a soft cloth.
