(Educational Piano). Physical training and discipline are needed for
both athletics and keyboard playing. Keyboard muscle conditioning is
called technic. Technic exercises are as important to the keyboard
player as workouts and calisthenics are to the athlete. Schaum's
Fingerpower books are dedicated to development of individual finger
strength and dexterity in both hands. This edition includes access to
online recordings of the exercises. Audio is accessed online using the
unique code inside the book and can be streamed or downloaded. The audio
files include PLAYBACK+, a multi-functional audio player that allows you
to slow down audio without changing pitch, set loop points, change keys,
and pan left or right.
