Piano Adventures All-In-Two Technique & Performance Book – Level 4-5

Description

The Piano Adventures® Technique & Performance Book, with page-by-page correlations, is the essential companion to the Lesson & Theory Book.
The Technique & Performance Book combines two essential elements of pianism.

• The student develops technical skill through the application of “Technique Secrets.”
• Engaging etudes and performance pieces allow these techniques to be tools for musical expression.

This integration of technique and artistic performance, the sequence of Technique Secrets through the levels, and a unique emphasis on gesture that coordinates arm, wrist, and fingers make this series especially powerful.

The five Technique Secrets of Level 4–5 are:

• Alignment (Balance Beam)
• Drop and Follow-Through (Spark the Pattern)
• Wrist Circles (Lead with the Wrist)
• Precise Rhythm for Staccatos (Staccato Machine)
• Rotation (Rocking)
