Piano Technique, Book 5
Kreader Barbara, Kern Fred, Keveren Phillip, Rejino Mona

Piano Technique Book 5, the final book in our piano technique series, builds upon technical skills mastered in previous levels, with imaginative exercises appropriate for the intermediate-level student. Through engaging warm-ups and etudes, students are encouraged to explore diatonic and chromatic scales, chords, inversions, and chord progressions. The exercises also focus on important intermediate-level skills, including: finger substitutions, extended and contracted hand positions, grace notes, playing a waltz bass, and refinement of articulation and coordination. The exercises are carefully correlated to the music in Piano Lessons Book 5 of the Hal Leonard Student Piano Library. This book continues to emphasize our message that 'the music makes a difference!'
