2460 ae | ie Willard A. Palmer ¢ Morton Manus «Amanda Vick Lethco pe Les) = Alfred’s Basic Piano Library Piano Technic Book ¢ Level 1A FOREWORD There are 10 groups of exercises in this book, plus another set for use away from the piano, and each group has just 4 exercises (A, B, C, D). What you are practicing will always fit exactly with the material you are studying in the LESSON BOOK, RECITAL BOOK, & THEORY BOOK of LEVEL 1A. When you begin a new group, you may start by practicing just ONE exercise from that group, dropping the first exercise of the previous group. As an example, when you are ready for Group 2 exercises, practice 2A and drop 1A. Add anew exercise every other day, dropping another old one—practice 2B, drop 1B, etc.—so you are always practicing FOUR exercises. These exercises offer much more than the development of technical skill. They reinforce every principle introduced in Level 1A. They give additional drill in reading and playing melodic and harmonic intervals. They improve musicianship, provide rhythm drills, and develop skill in coordination between the hands. The benefits they offer make the very small amount of time they require worth the effort.
