The Technique & Artistry Books combine two essential elements of Piano playing, providing a smooth, integrated approach building the basics of technique towards an artistic goal.

Organised into units that correspond directly with the Piano Adventures Lesson Books, level 2B concentrates upon four ‘technique secrets’ that will help you develop a fluid and confident performance ability:
Arm weight
Slur gesture

Connected pedaling

Further chapters focus upon artistic interpretation and cadences, discussing exactly how to approach and ‘shape’ you performance as well as providing the skills to make it possible.
