Alfred Premier Piano Technique 2A

Technique 2A continues and expands on the technical and artistic tools learned
in Technique books 1A and 1B. The seven new Technique Tools introduced are:
dynamic shaping, crossing over the thumb, solid-sounding chords, two-note
slurs, seamless melodies, balance between melody and accompaniment, and damper
pedal footwork. Artistic Etudes showcase a student’s technique in an
expressive musical setting, and Hands-Together Workshops focus on developing
the skills necessary for coordinating hands-together playing. Each page in the
Technique Book correlates with a specific page in the LessonBook.
