Free Practising & Technique eBook

By Informance, 2019-06-27 Posted in: eBooks, News

We’re delighted to announce our collaboration with Casio Music UK to make various resources on practising available to pianists and piano teachers alongside their Grand Hybrid Teacher Network. Initiatives arising from this partnership include a workshop on the Practice Tools in central London and an eBook titled Practising the Piano – An Introduction to Practice Strategies and Piano Technique.

Based on excerpts of popular content from our Practising the Piano multimedia eBook series, the eBook is available for free download and features the following topics:

  • Building firm foundations when learning pieces
  • Using quarantining to tackle trouble spots
  • Organising a practice session for the best results
  • The feedback loop
  • A brief history of piano technique
  • Selected walk throughs from our Online Academy series on Burgmüller’s 25 Easy and Progressive Études 

The eBook also introduces the reader to Casio’s Grand Hybrid Teacher Network, ensuring all that download the material have an opportunity to join a piano teacher community offering rich teaching resources, FREE workshops and special offers.
