(Educational Piano). Strong fingers are an important requirement for all
pianists amateur and professional alike. Schaum Fingerpower exercises
are designed to strengthen all five fingers of both hands. Equal hand
development is assured by the performance of the same patterns in each
hand, either in parallel motion or with alternating hands. The exercises
are purposely short and easily memorized. This enables the student to
focus their efforts on the technical benefits, attentive listening and
to playing with a steady beat. The exercises become progressivley more
difficult as the student moves thorugh the book. This makes them an
ideal companion to a method book at the same level.
