Technique Book 2 is designed to accompany Repertoire Book 2, but it may be used with any method as a technical supplement. It contains three categories of exercises: Pentascales, Triads, and Special Exercises. The white key major patterns are introduced early in the book and progress to the white key minor patterns. The black key major and minor patterns are presented at the end of the book. Students play with varying rhythms and articulations.
This SuperScore edition includes all of the material from the printed edition and more. Each piece has been recorded by the authors, providing model performances for the student as well as play-along accompaniments. Playback of each part can be engaged or muted as desired.
