In Level 5, we’ll learn some exercises to help you maintain a flexible wrist, which becomes even more important when playing big, powerful pieces. A good wrist technique will give you power when you need it, but prevent you from getting tired in even the most demanding passages. We’ll learn about key signatures, which are absolutely essential to reading music, and learn some more signs that you’ll see in many pieces of sheet music, including legato and staccato markings, crescendo and diminuendo markings, and 8va signs. After that, we’ll put that knowledge to use in playing some new pieces that are just a little bit more challenging than the ones we’ve learned so far.
