A Dozen A Day Preparatory Book
A Dozen a Day Preparatory Book
The Dozen a Day books are universally recognized as one of the most remarkable technique series on the market for all ages! Each book in this series contains short warm-up exercises to be played at the beginning of each practice session, providing excellent day-to-day training for the student.
Preface: Many people do exercises every morning before they go to work. Likewise, we should give our fingers exercises every day before we begin our practicing. The purpose of this book is to help develop strong hands and flexible fingers. Do not try to learn the entire first dozen exercises the first week you study this book! Learn two or three exercises, and do them each day before practicing. When these are mastered, add another, then another, and keep adding until the twelve exercises can be played perfectly. When the first dozen - or Group I - has been mastered and perfected, Group II may be introduced in the same manner, and so on for the other Groups. Many of these exercises may be transposed to different keys. In fact, this should be encouraged.
