A Dozen A Day: Pre-Practice Technical Exercises For The Piano [Book 2 Elementary]
£8.50
Pre-practice technical exercises for the piano. The purpose of this book is to help develop strong hands and flexible fingers. The idea is to learn two or three exercises at a time, which should be played each day before practising. Only when these are mastered should you add another. When all in the first group are mastered, the next group may be introduced. Many of these exercises may be transposed to different keys.

Handy warmup excercises that are within the ABRSM Grade 2-4 range – and a bit more exicting than just doing scales. They’re also all in C-major so you can try transposing them into another key for an extra challenge.

This series might be “vintage” but it is still popular because it is a simple and highly effective concept. Each exercise teaches a particular technique, and to help in understanding the effect aimed for, it relates to a physical exercise with cute stick figures carrying them out. So at its simplest, “Hopping” is an exercise in staccato playing, “Rolling” is for legato. As you progress through the series, the same “physical” exercises pop up in the guise of ever more difficult keyboard exercises. It’s witty and fun.

I am a very late beginner at the piano (born before the war ie Me not my piano!) My Tutor recommended these books, written for children,. to help the process of unstiffening my rather aging fingers and they really do work. I have just played The Can-Can from my course book at something like the “Moulin Rouge” speed. If you’re a late starter, of any age, I recommend them. I’m sure they will also appeal to children ( I was one once). Its nothing to do with this review but I’d like to add that I’m really enjoying leaning the piano and that the authors of tutors like this have really made me a new man. Why don’t you try?

These are great little studies for the beginner pianist.

This book is helpful to anyone of any age who wants to learn the piano properly. I am an older lady who does go to piano lessons and this book was recommended by my teacher. The exercises increase flexibility, and I am building up to learning the first group. Although it has the drawing of a child on the front, and the titles of the exercises sound childish, in fact they are not simplistic and the titles give a good impression of how the exercises should be played, with a bit of imagination.
