Piano Technique Book 5 expands the skills emphasized in Piano Technique Book 4. Through engaging Warm-Ups and Etudes, students are encouraged to explore diatonic and chromatic scales, chords, inversions, and chord progressions. The exercises also focus on important, intermediate-level skills: finger substitutions, extended and contracted hand positions, grace notes, playing a waltz bass, and refinement of articulation and coordination. Each Warm-Up and Etude has its own original accompaniment. The exercises in this book are carefully correlated to the music in Piano Lessons Book 5. This package includes a book with access to audio files to use for practice and performance.

Audio is accessed online using the unique code inside the book and can be streamed or downloaded. The audio files include PLAYBACK+, a multi-functional audio player that allows you to slow down audio without changing pitch, set loop points, change keys, and pan left or right.
