The accompanying CD is a wonderful tool for enhancing these exercises with highly acclaimed midi-orchestrated backing tracks - learning becomes so much fun!

The purpose of the books in this bestselling series 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.
