The final book in a series of five books focusing on technical skills at the piano, this book contains a series of musically engaging exercises and etudes that help students develop specific elementary level skills. The skills emphasized in the Warm-Ups are given a musical context in the Etudes that follow them.

Each Warm-Up and Etude in the book has its own original accompaniment, available on the included CD. Piano Technique Book 5 focuses on improving skills at the piano: playing broken chords in one phrase between hands, playing tenuto in one hand and staccato in the other, coordinating right-hand and left-hand phrases of different lengths, playing broken chords that use finger substitution, contracting the hand to accommodate a new position, moving from hand to hand within a phrase, and much more!
