Lyric Airs and Technical Studies
Chorales and technique drills
Lyric Airs
14 widely recognized folk and classical melodies, all secular, arranged in chorale style. Engaging to rehearse, they develop tone, pitch refinement, and expressive skills just as effectively as traditional chorales. Seven major keys, seven minor keys.
Technical Studies
In addition to the chorale in each key, you get a scale + arpeggio, and a series of drills patterned after those found in Hanon, Clarke, and Klose. Incorporate them in your warm-up routine or use them for individual assessment. The minor key exercises have the 6th and 7th scale degrees labeled so you can easily use different forms of the scale.
