The starting level is considered late beginner to early intermediate. This is where you should start if you have experience playing and can easily play beginner level material.

This course will attempt to move you from beginner techniques and concepts into the intermediate equivalent. Five-finger positions will be expanded to one octave. Scales and keys will be introduced. This is where your technique will really open up and prepare you for more advanced practice. 

How to Use This Course

This course essentially organizes the necessary material into a convenient checklist for you to work through. You should spend around 5-10 minutes (max) per practice session learning and practicing this material. Also, this material should have first priority.

As you work through this course, you should strongly consider having multiple short practice sessions per day using this material before you move into your repertoire practice.

When you first start learning a new technique, your 5-10 minutes of practice time will mostly be spent learning each exercise. Because of how frequently you'll be visiting these, you will learn quickly and eventually transition into rapidly repeating sets of exercises multiple times.

Your goal is to learn and memorize all of your scales and arpeggios along with other related exercises in all keys. While speed is not at all important in the beginning, at some point it will become a focus and a test of your technical proficiency.
