​Whenever I see a great musician they look so comfortable playing their instrument. The reason why is they possess great technique and control. There are so many advantages in having proper technique which are speed, accuracy, dexterity, endurance and strength. This book is written to help you develop these attributes.

​

What is different about this book and other technique books? My purpose in writing this book was to help people who can AND can’t read music play basic to advanced fundamental piano technique exercises. What I came up with was something that parallels guitar tablature. You can follow the piano staves or use my piano tab to learn the notes and fingering. I don’t think it is necessary to have the ability to read music but I always thought of it as a great advantage when you want to learn on your own so you may want to develop your reading as you continue with your studies.

​

One of the most important things when learning technique is proper fingering. Please follow these guidelines very slowly and accurately. In time you will memorize the fingering and the book will no longer be needed. Always start slow and do not do too much at once. These exercises could take years to digest so don’t think you have to master every exercise in one sitting.
