Alfred 00-32077 Premier Piano Course- Technique Book 2A - Music Book

Technique 2A continues and expands on the technical and artistic tools learned in Technique books 1A and 1B. The seven new Technique Tools introduced are: dynamic shaping, crossing over the thumb, solid-sounding chords, two-note slurs, seamless melodies, balance between melody and accompaniment, and damper pedal footwork. Artistic Etudes showcase a student’s technique in an expressive musical setting, and Hands-Together Workshops focus on developing the skills necessary for coordinating hands-together playing. Each page in the Technique Book correlates with a specific page in the Lesson Book.TITLE COMPOSERA Note to Teachers Technique Tools Review Hands-Together Workshop 1 (Parallel Motion) Technique Tool 1 (Dynamic Shaping) Technique Tools Review Artistic Etude 1 (Feeling Intensity and Relaxation with Dynamics) Technique Tool 2 (Crossing over the Thumb) Preparing for Chords Technique Tool 3 (Solid-Sounding Chords) The I and V7 Chords in C Technique Tool 4 (Two-Note Slurs) Artistic Etude 2 (Creating Moods in Music) Hands-Together Workshop 2 (Contrary Motion) Technique Tool 5 (Seamless Melodies) Technique Tool 6 (Balance Between Melody and Accompaniment) The I and V7 Chords in G Technique Tool 7 (Damper Pedal Footwork) Artistic Etude 3 (Ringing Tone) Hands-Together Workshop 3 (C and G Major 5-Finger Patterns) Hands-Together Workshop 4 (D and A Major 5-Finger Patterns) Rockin' 6ths Artistic Etude 4 (Tools for Expressive Performance) Technique Tools Review
