Premier Piano Course: Technique 6

Premier Piano Course: Technique 6

Premier Piano Course: Technique 6 develops the physical and artistic skills needed for confident intermediate piano playing. Written by Dennis Alexander, Gayle Kowalchyk, E. L. Lancaster, Victoria McArthur and Martha Mier, it expands on the technical tools introduced in Levels 1A through 5 and coordinates directly with the matching Lesson Book 6.

Four New Technique Tools

Level 6 introduces four focused technique areas: Slur Gestures, Voicing the Melody, The Soft Pedal - Una Corda, and Trills. Each skill is presented through concise exercises designed to help students understand the physical movement and musical purpose behind the technique.

Technique Applied Musically

Artistic Etudes place technical skills into expressive musical settings, while Masterwork Etudes provide experience with traditional study material by established composers and teachers. This helps students move beyond mechanical exercises and apply technique directly to repertoire.

Fully Coordinated with Lesson Book 6

Each page in Technique 6 correlates with a specific page in the companion Lesson Book, making it easy for teachers to introduce technical work exactly when it becomes relevant to the student's repertoire and musical development.

Who Is It For?

Ideal for students working at Premier Piano Course Level 6 or pianists at a similar intermediate level who need structured technical work that connects directly with musical repertoire.

Our Take

This is a strong technique book because the exercises are tied to actual musical outcomes. Instead of treating technique as isolated drills, Level 6 links movement, tone and expression to the repertoire students are already learning.
