Exploring Piano Classics: Exploring Piano Classics Technique, Bk 6: A Masterwork Method for the Developing Pianist (Paperback)

The Exploring Piano Classics series pairs motivating performance repertoire with thoughtful technical studies. Each level contains a Repertoire book with recordings and a Technique book, both with convenient page-by-page correlation. When used together, the books give students a deep understanding of the art of music, performance practices, and the necessary skills to play the piano with technical ease. The Technique books are designed to give students a highly structured program of technical development. They include basic keyboard patterns (five-finger patterns, scales, cadences, and arpeggios in the major and minor keys of the Repertoire books), exercises and études, and other necessary technical drills for mastering each piece in the Repertoire books. Suggestions for efficient practice are also included.
