- Returning pianists rebuilding speed and hand strength
- Daily warm-up material before practicing repertoire
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Absolute beginners who cannot yet read two-stave notation

- 03Guidance on tempo and hand position is safer with a teacher watching
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this for beginners?
Not for day-one beginners. You need to read both staves and play hands together first. It is technique practice, not a first method book.
02Does it lie flat on the piano?
Yes. The comb binding opens flat and stays on the page, which is the main reason to pick this edition over a stitched one.
03Are there songs in it?
No. It is exercises for finger strength, independence and dexterity, meant as daily practice alongside whatever pieces you are learning.
04Do I need a teacher?
You can work through it alone, but a teacher helps you avoid tension and injury, since the drills are repetitive by design.
