The Technic is Fun series offers piano students a series of graded studies for the development of technic, style, and musicianship. These studies reinforce the technical requirements found in method books and in standard piano repertory. The etudes found in this series not only build technic and musicality but have been carefully selected to provide refreshing recital repertoire as well as to develop a strong musical and technical foundation.

Two-octave scales with fingerings and a 1-page related repertoire piece are included for 12 major scales: C, G, F, D, A, E, B, B-flat, E-flat, D-flat and G-flat. Two-octave arpeggios with fingering for the I, IV, V and V7 chords and a 1-page related repertoire piece are included for the same 12 major scales.

Book 1 covers bass and treble clef notation, time values, time signatures, sharps, flats, naturals, note spelling and other fundamentals. This activity book for children provides plenty of written practice for drawing notes on the staff and on leger lines.

Joyce Grill brings rhythmic excitement, melodic invention, and innovative repertoire to duet teams. The toe-tapping "Out of Tune March," the rousing "Ukrainian Three-Step," and the reflective "Shimmering Waters" join with the rhythmical "V-Hawk's Gallop" offering a versatile performance collection that will delight the performer and wow the audience.

The Fun Books provide additional recital pieces designed for students who require more solo material and are particularly useful when two students are from the same family (Recital Book for one, Fun Book for the other).
