Claude Gordon's Thirty Velocity Studies

Historical Method

About This Method

This book is modeled after scale patterns from Hannon's Piano Studies. They start on pedal C and work-up chromatically as high as possible. This is intended to be the next step after completing Claude Gordon's Systematic Approach To Daily Practice. Each study is also intended to be done with about 20 models of articulations. This book is demanding, but gives the player great facility in playing over their entire range.

Currently the Bass Clef edition is out of print. However, we are able to maintain a limited stock and they will be available for instant purchase if there isn't an "out of stock" indicator.
