technical exercise regimen
on: September 21, 2015, 12:24:24 AM
Hi

Could someone suggest to me a good technical exercise regimen. I am about ABRSM grade 6 standard and I would like someone to suggest the technical issues/topics that I should master. Are there any good technical exercise books that are suitable for my level.

Thanks
tbt

I respect that you want to get better but I personally don't believe in technical regimens of any sort. I think you can learn all you need from actual pieces of music or perhaps etudes. I would recommend finding a set of etudes you like that are at your level rather than doing boring exercises. I want to work on (have only barely started mind you) etudes by Chopin and then one day those of Scriabin and Liszt but those are all very hard. I think Burgmuller wrote a set that might be more or less at your level.
Care to see my playing?
