The free video lessons in Unit 3 take you out of ‘piano beginner’ mode and move you along into ‘piano novice!’
You will learn:

- Tricks for better sight reading – reading intervallically
- Moving to different hand placements mid-piece
- Staccato and legato touch
- Playing at the octave.
The level of coordination required for this unit does not progress much, this gives your hands a chance to catch up with your mind! This is important for adult beginners, since coordination takes time to develop. Don’t skimp on this level! It’s a good one to review later if you need to increase your dexterity.
