Essential Piano Technique
Overview
The series draws on the principles of The Complete Pianist to develop a strong foundation of healthy technique in elementary and intermediate pianists, helping them to progress rapidly and confidently through these stages of piano playing.
Serious technique is taught through fun activities with charming illustrations, and imaginative original music by Aaron Burrows and lyrics. Teacher duet accompaniments provide a rich musical experience.
The books can be used alongside existing theory or method books, or as a stand-alone. Each book includes free videos and detailed teaching tips for teachers.
