Piano Forum

Hello everyone, I'd like some advice on piano training. I have failed my grade 7 piano exam twice, I obviously have some serious gaps in my training and I need a lot of effort and good practice to recuperate. I just want advice on how to practice advanced piano technique, how to divide my training session to scales, chords, exercises, études...Knowing that I haven't practiced scales before.

I want your suggestions for 4 things :

• Best piano technique books (Czerny, Hanon...)
  
• Advice for approaching scales, chords training
  
• Best etudes suited for Grade 7 ABRSM piano
  
• Best piano pieces suited for Grade 7 ABRSM piano
