Schultz Piano Course: Technique (Standard Piano Technique)

STANDARD PIANO TECHNIQUE is a supplementary manual of scales, chords, and arpeggios not covered in the main body of the SCHULTZ PIANO COURSE. The use of these materials through a separate text allows the teacher the flexibility to elect when and how to introduce standard technique into the lesson for each student. While the course contains no set guidelines for introducing these fundamentals, they are essential components in a complete music education. It is recommended that the student be introduced to CHORDS IN MAJOR KEYS and CHORDS IN MINOR KEYS as the corresponding key signatures are being studied. The primary triads in each key are emphasized to serve as a logical introduction to the sections on cadences.
