It is important that you understand the value of developing good technique. In the beginning when you are learning and playing fairly basic music one can get by without good technique. But, as you move into more challenging music the value of good technique becomes apparent.

Correct posture in the left hand, good fingering choices, alternating fingers in the right hand, economy of motion, etc., becomes the deciding factor in your success when trying to play Teen Town, or Menuetto I by Bach, or Trane¹s Giant Steps solo.

Are you willing to take the time and build a technique today that will allow you to execute the music you choose to play in the future?
