Daily Dexter Flexers 

Technical exercises for beginning keyboard students using the simplified interval approach combined with scale topography. The fun way to gain finger dexterity and speed reading skills.

  • Finger and reading exercises for beginners
  • Illustrated with lively pictures of Dexter (for dexterity) the Koala

Develop both speed reading concepts and solid technical foundations in one book! A very gradual approach to interval reading and timing concepts with plenty of repetitive practice to establish the feel and sound of the intervals. Dexter the Koala, is active on each page illustrating the interval reading and direction concepts plus the other technical challenges presented. Timing diagrams to be coloured in also help the novice pianist grasp rhythm concepts easily.

Suitable for use alongside the Contemporary Piano Method Book One and Junior Primer.
