Bastien Essentials: Technic Classics, Level 1 by Lisa Bastien (Paperback Book)

Kjos Music

This exercise book gives attention to many technic elements appropriate to early elementary piano students beginning with the down-up motion of the wrist in playing two-note slurs. Focus is also given to developing hands-together playing using mirror technics between the hands as well as parallel motion. It also includes preparation for playing 3-note chords including I and V7 chord (two-note) introduction. Up-touch staccato is introduced along with early experiences with playing staccato vs. legato between the hands. G and F positions are utilized. Agility exercises are notated in eighth notes and some early use of the damper pedal is explored. \u201CTechnic Challenges\u201D ask students to transpose many of the exercises to other white keys. Has 52 exercises on 32 pages.\n\nBastien Essentials: Technic Classics, Level 1\n\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services.\n\nPlease note: the price advertised i;
