Summary of This Workbook
Modern Piano Studies by Jakub Metelka reconciles study and the joy of playing. Here, the studies are not just exercises: they are 30 brief pieces, each with an original title, a distinct sonic identity, and playful illustrations by Andrea Tachezy, designed to stimulate both imagination and technique.
The progression is based on a clear principle: one study = one difficulty to work on. You reinforce essential reflexes (rhythmic placement, attack precision, finger flexibility, hand balance, clarity of reading), while remaining in a fully musical context, with singing melodies and a decidedly contemporary language.
The edition covers all major and minor keys, a valuable asset for developing keyboard fluency, understanding key signatures, and mastering sight-reading. As the composer points out, playing the complete set helps you "find your way" in all keys and refine your notation skills.
To be used alongside a method, as a daily routine, or as pedagogical repertoire : these studies also work very well in auditions, at the end of lessons, or to vary the program with short but expressive pieces.
