Course Description
Carl Czerny's opus 299 is entirely dedicated to technique: scales, arpeggios, five-finger technique, octaves, and much more. Carl Czerny was passionate about the piano and in this volume he has put all his knowledge into making even the most difficult movements natural and musical.
COURSE STRUCTURE
The first module
The first module is devoted entirely to scales, five-finger technique and arpeggios. You will learn to use the weight of your hand to play chords and bichords lightly and without fatigue.
All the exercises are in the key of C major, so you will learn to perform the main hand movements while moving mainly on the white keys.
