Fellow pianist,
 
The 'Golden Fingers Technique’ is suitable for pre-conservatoire and conservatoire students whose technique has yet to acquire solid foundations, for professional pianists who feel the need to integrate their advanced technical skills into a natural whole and for piano teachers. Ultimately the book is for anyone who appreciates the long-term advantages to be derived from establishing a sound piano technique.
I hope that you will be able to embark on an absorbing voyage and that along the way you will make many discoveries which will give you much pleasure and enable you to play with greater ease.
 
I wish you every success!!!
 
Sincerely,
