The Korena take
Beginner piano technique book of short daily warm-up exercises. For students starting out, or adults returning to the instrument who want finger work.

- Teachers assigning technique separate from repertoire
- Adults restarting piano who want simple finger drills
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting songs to perform rather than exercises
- Intermediate pianists past basic five-finger patterns
- Anyone looking for guitar or non-keyboard material

The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Green cover
How the series is identified on a shelf. Each level has its own cover color, so green means Book 1.
Detail 03
A dozen exercises per group
Practice is designed in short daily sets, not long sessions. Fits a ten-minute warm-up.
Detail 04
Print book, $6.99
Cheap enough to buy per student. Consumable — expect pencil marks and a worn spine.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a full piano method book?
No. It covers technique and warm-up exercises. Most students use it alongside a separate method book that teaches reading and repertoire.
02What level is Book 1?
Beginner. It's the first book in the series, meant for students already able to find their way around the keyboard with five fingers.
03How long does each day's practice take?
The exercises are grouped in short sets of twelve, intended as a brief warm-up rather than a full practice session.
04Does the green cover mean anything?
It identifies the level. Green is Book 1; other books in the series use different cover colors.
