THE TECHNICAL


Fingering: The Key to Arming
- Seymour Fink
Examples from the repertoire are used to illustrate the principles of hand-vocabulary thinking, which is designed to promote musical effectiveness as well as mental and physical ease. Its underlying principle is the use of a consistent, comfortably aligned, finger-interval equivalency, regardless of the black-key/white-key pattern of the music.

Developing a Technique for Advanced Piano Repertoire
- William DeVan
Building from the physiology of movement, this chapter addresses basic hand position, the benefits of both open and closed positions, and provides exercises to develop these coordinations.
