The Perfect Start for Finger Exercises, Book 3

Kevin and Julia Olson / edited by Kevin Olson

Students choose how to play short exercises (4 measures with a repeat) by checking a box under various icons. There are eight different icons that suggest variations in touch, dynamics, tempo, and use of the pedal - always with a rounded-hand shape. Develops listening skills and reinforces the concept that the gesture creates the sound. Creativity is sparked when students combine icons together!
