This book provides 60 technical exercises that will help to develop strong hands and flexible fingers whilst having fun. The exercises are divided into five 'sets' which are carefully graded to introduce new technical points gradually, and will help create a regular practice routine. Specifically designed for use from the first few lessons, alongside Chester's Easiest Piano Course Books 1 to 3, though it can be used with any beginners' piano course. Carol Barratt is an established world leader in piano education for young people. She studied at the Royal College of Music winning scholarships in composition, and has written music for many different instruments as well as her famous Chester piano tutor and repertoire books.
