Scales & Arpeggios: Preparatory Exercises – An Introduction to Warm-Ups, Blocking, and Playing by Aloys Schmitt and Charles-Louis Hanon ed. by Tom Gerou Early Intermediate Piano
This edition introduces scales and arpeggios through clear, accessible exercises designed to build confidence and fluency. Selected from Preparatory Exercises, Op. 16 by Aloys Schmitt and The Virtuoso Pianist, Book 2 by Charles-Louis Hanon, these studies help develop form, finger crossings, and hand positioning.
Preliminary warm-ups prepare the student for essential scale technique, while selected exercises may be transposed to other keys as needed. This edition avoids material requiring excessive stretch and is thoughtfully curated for pianists with smaller hands.
An ideal introduction to blocked chords, technical coordination, and the early stages of scale and arpeggio work.
