A Dozen a Day (Una Docena al Dia), Book 3 (Spanish Edition): Piano Book

Book 3 offers exactly what intermediate pianists need: focused technical work that students actually complete because each day takes just minutes. The Spanish edition opens this trusted series to bilingual students and Spanish-speaking households, making daily practice feel inclusive and connected to home.

Brief, purposeful, and rewarding. Each exercise fits into a busy practice day without overwhelming the student, yet the cumulative effect of daily work is undeniable. Students finish these drills with warmed hands and sharper fingers, ready to tackle their repertoire with confidence.

Intermediate piano students who have completed Book 2 and are ready to strengthen finger agility, hand position, and technical control. This book serves bilingual learners whose primary language is Spanish or households where Spanish-language materials reinforce practice routines.

• Anchor these exercises as the first five to ten minutes of every practice session, before moving to repertoire or other materials. Consistency builds technique faster than sporadic longer sessions.
• Work through one exercise per day as written, then repeat it with varied dynamics and articulation the next day to deepen finger independence.
• Pair these technical drills with repertoire at the same level so students hear how improved technique immediately serves the music they're learning.

Assign Book 3 as the standard warm-up material for all intermediate piano students in your studio or program. The Spanish edition pairs naturally with repertoire by Spanish or Latin American composers, or integrates into any curriculum where students benefit from hearing technical instruction in their home language.

• Finger independence and dexterity in both hands
• Hand position and alignment at intermediate levels
• Consistent daily practice habits
• Technical foundation for scales and arpeggios
• Bilateral coordination in varied finger patterns
