In this course, you will encounter a list of exercises from Czerny Op. 599. Each of these exercises will help you to practice and perfect some musical or technical challenge.

We will start with Exercise #11.

I have included public domain editions of each of these exercises. However, feel free to purchase an edition if you prefer. If you decide to purchase, I recommend the Schirmer Performance Edition because of its straight forward approach to fingering. With that said, I will be using the public scores for any demonstrations.

Recommendations

You should work to master each exercise and then move on to the next one. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

• You can work on more than one exercise at a time if your practice allows for it.

• The slow counting demonstration videos will show you generally what to expect with each exercise. 

• You should aim to exceed the tempo of the video example for each exercise. 

• Each exercise can usually be broken down into short sections consisting of 4 measures…use this to divide up your practice. 

• Bring each exercise up to tempo and then practice it for a few more days before letting it go. 

• These exercises do not replace scale and arpeggio practice!

• Let me know if you need help with something.
