- many short, characterful pieces to sight-read, in a range of approachable musical styles
- warm-up and technical exercises, to establish basic hand shapes and fi nger patterns within each key
- simple improvisation exercises in which students can explore musical ideas and familiarize themselves further with the ‘feel’ of each key
- longer solo pieces and some duets and trios, for additional sight-reading practice or to learn quickly and play through for fun
