Piano Technique Book 5 expands the skills emphasized in Piano Technique Book 4. Through engaging Warm-Ups and Etudes, students are encouraged to explore diatonic and chromatic scales, chords, inversions, and chord progressions. The exercises also focus on important, intermediate-level skills: finger substitutions, extended and contracted hand positions, grace notes, playing a waltz bass, and refinement of articulation and coordination. Each Warm-Up and Etude has its own original accompaniment. The exercises in this book are carefully correlated to the music in Piano Lessons Book 5. This package includes a book and an enhanced CD with practice and performance tempo tracks. The CD works in any CD player but it also contains MIDI files for Windows and Mac computer users.
