Featuring scale, arpeggio, interval and pattern studies in all major and minor keys, this modern edition of the classic Baermann method reorganizes exercises according to key for a more logical study sequence. In addition, certain patterns and contemporary chordal studies have been added to make the material more complete, along with exercises in the keys of C# and Cb that were not originally included in Baermann's 19th-century opus. All music is digitally engraved for ease of reading, and the plastic binding ensures that the book stays open on a music stand.
