This series presents a successful and vital method for mastering technique: a step-by-step approach to building technical skills. Each exercise is presented in gradual steps of increasing challenge as the student learns to master each musical element in preparation for combining them together. Technique Tune-Ups offers musically satisfying exercises and helps to lay a solid foundation for practice techniques for future repertoire.
Through the years as Martha and I have taught many piano students, we have found it so helpful to guide our students through mastering the technical demands of each piece by having our students "break down" and master challenging sections one step at a time. This technique book offers those same steps to success as it builds the different elements and demands of technical exercises into a logical progression. We encourage students to use this same step-by-step approach in all of their practicing. When successful technique is at the fingertips of our students, we know their ability to express themselves musically is so much more rewarding.
We wish every student much musical joy as they tune-up their technique
