Succeeding At The Piano - Grade 5

Helen Marlais' Succeeding At The Piano - Lesson And Technique Book (Grade 5) expands on the concepts from earlier levels and presents new ones: sixteenth-note patterns, seventh chords, fingerindependence, voicing, augmented triads, rubato, and asymmetrical rhythms. Students continue to learn about the different eras of music, and refine their skills of pedaling, finger substitution, and musical terminology — so theycan play beautifully and intelligently. New keys are E-flat major and C minor. Seven touch releases are presented through various technical exercises and pieces, and correct technique is reinforced.
