(Schott). Devised as either stand-alone volumes, or as a supplement to
the Method Book, Finger Fitness provides useful and fun exercises to
help improve all aspects of playing technique. The pieces are a mix of
established exercises drawn from the classical repertoire as well as
newly composed contemporary pieces by the author. Suitable for beginner
pianists, the exercises in each book will help you to develop finger
strength and independence, evenness, accuracy and speed of playing, as
well as articulation and general musicality. Exercises are presented in
a progressively graded format, providing the student with relevant
material as their playing ability develops.
