Bastien Piano Basics: Technic - Level 3

Emily E. Jefferys

Excellent technic exercises for the older level 3 piano student (ages 10+). This method focuses heavily on chord development- including inversions. Exercises are fun, upbeat, and never tedious. They are repetitive enough to get the concept mastered, with adequate practice time. I recommend this to my students who are interested in playing jazz, hymns, pop accompaniment music, and movie themes. The technics in this curriculum do not focus heavily on classical- so you will need to supplement appropriately. Students will also need to be able to reach an octave.
