Etudes with Technique, Book 2 -- by Helen Marlais & Suzanne Torkelson

Description: This series is designed to develop healthy, natural, and effective technique so students can play beautifully as well as with virtuosity. Each book is divided into units, and each unit focuses on one technical concept. Technical concepts are introduced using imagery to help the student understand the gesture needed to produce the correct technique. Different imagery is used in each level of this series. Following the text and the imagery, two short technical exercises provide the student's first opportunity to play to technique. These exercises should be memorized so students can focus on the sound they produce while observing their playing mechanism in action. Several etudes then follow to reinforce each technical concept. In this way, students focus on one technique at a time, and the concept is reinforced through multiple etudes. This method allows the student to master the technique and make it a habit, providing the foundation for effective, natural, relaxed, and enjoyable performances of their repertoire. This book is best used with the following publications: The Festival Collection, Book 2 An Introduction to Succeeding with the Masters Succeeding with the Masters, Volume One
