This series integrates the benefits of Fingerpower exercises with basic transposing to help develop ear training and awareness of melodic contour. Exercises present simple melodic and harmonic intervals. Students learn to recognise these intervals on the printed page, hear the different sounds and experience the feeling in the hand as various intervals are played. Each exercise has melodic elements delineated by phrase marks. Students are taught to recognise phrase groups that recur in the same piece.
Primer Level (Early Elementary) comprises 21 short, 8-measure exercises using 5-finger patterns. Positions based on C, F and G major. No key signatures are used. Patterns involve intervals of 3rds, 4ths, and 5ths up and down. Patterns are transposing from C to F and F to C -- C to G and G to C -- C to F and F to G.
