About this piece
Reinagle's Opus 1 is a great set with elementary pieces for beginners. These pieces cover the foundations of piano technique, which involve tone production, balance, and coordination between right and left hands.
This piece explores repeated notes with alternating fingers. The main challenge here is to alternate the fingers while keeping the hand stable, relaxed, and in position.
Is this your next piece?
This could be a good next step if you're just starting out and developing your technique.
