About this course

This is Part 3 of the Rockschool Piano Method, Volume 1. With both hands now working together from Part 2, Talia Girton takes your playing past the five-finger position - introducing note skipping (leaps) in the right hand and the small position shifts that come with them.

You'll pull everything together on a set of short performance pieces that combine both hands, then finish ready for the more advanced Volume 2.

Rockschool Limited is the UK's leading awarding body for popular music exams. This course follows the Rockschool syllabus and pieces.
