I am starting to learn keyboard but i do remember my brother using this as a kid to learn how to play the piano. This is a book of exercises to get your fingers warmed up but also teach you some of teh techniques used in piano play so it is very good if you are larning to play the piano.But, this book brings back so funny memories mainly when my brother was lerarning to pay the piano. one day i came back from school and me and my mum were in the kitchen. my brother starts to play the song at the end of the book like he had done before except this time he belloowed and sang at the top of his voice "a dozen a day hip hip horray......" Me and my mum just creased up.the next time he sang it was at christmas when the tree was being put up. My day secured the tree to the wall with a nail not upto the job. Next thing the string snaps and the tree pins my nan and brother to piano with his still playing and singing "a dozen a day hip hip horray......"You could not make it up but the fun we have had with this book was wonderful and brings back to find memories.. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well worth the money. *by A***A on 24 July 2011* I bought this book several weeks ago and have still not got to the end of it. It has been so helpful in helping me work out finger patterns and also with sight reading.Ignore the fact that it seems to be written for children. It is suitable for anyone really.Some of the exercises seem a little pointless but those are the fun ones. The ones which have you crossing hands in the first lesson might not be recommended by your teacher but those are the fun ones and all of it helps you to increase your confidence on the keyboard.One thing I found especially helpful is that it only uses a small selection of notes at first. You quickly learn these and the patterns that each exercise uses so there's more time spent actually pressing keys rather than trying to work out which note it means.Also there's a gradual introduction to a lot of different aspects of music notation and you absorb this almost subconsciously as you work through the exercises.They start very simple and gradually become more complex. Each section ends with a little song which gets a little more complex for each of the groups.If I am trying a new tempo or am trying to learn a new key I often go back to the beginning of the book and start with the familiar easy ones again. That makes this book well worth the price and when I finally outgrow it I will definitely buy the next one. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just the job *by L***E on 10 June 2017* As a rather mature beginner these exercises are proving to be invaluable in freeing up stiff fingers bringing some flexibility. As I progress I can see that they will have huge benefit in providing me with the technique I need to move forward with playing more complex pieces. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/103894654-a-dozen-a-day-pre-practice-technical-exercises-for-piano](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/103894654-a-dozen-a-day-pre-practice-technical-exercises-for-piano) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
