Re: How do you use the Klose Book?

I would have to go through the book and verify pages for each section, but here is a brief overview of the ones I regularly use with students.

I use the mechanism exercises, assigning maybe 3-4 per week. I have them play each first at a slow tempo around 60 working on tone, technique, etc. They play them a number of times as the book suggests and then again twice as fast. I also use the exercises that go sequentially though each key and the earlier stylistic duets. (I find much of the duet material very enjoyable to play and great for teaching style and musicality as well as a host of other skills....of course that was when I could see students in person and play duets!) Later there are articulation studies that are a good challenge.

I pick and choose from different sections as needed. Once students are advanced enough I use the harder etudes. I find there is so much valuable material here and it will help students become really solid players.
