Summary of This Method
Present in piano classrooms worldwide since 1950, the A Dozen a Day series has established itself as a must-have for building solid technique from the early years. Written and illustrated by Edna Mae Burnam, a pedagogue from a family of teachers, this method relies on a very direct approach: short warm-up exercises, grouped into simple sequences, to be practiced daily to develop reliable automatisms.
This anthology brings together the first four volumes of the series (Mini, Prep, Book 1, and Book 2 ). You will find a progressive training designed for regular work on fundamentals: flexibility, finger independence, hand coordination, consistency, and control. The exercises, intentionally brief, are suitable for both young pianists and older students who wish to structure an effective technical routine. Additionally, the book includes a bonus of orchestrated files accessible online, ideal for adding color, refreshing listening, and providing a concrete musical goal to the exercises.
