A Dozen a Day Preparatory Book by Edna Mae Burnam is one of the most trusted piano technique series for beginners worldwide. Designed for children, adult learners, and students just starting piano lessons, it develops strength, coordination, and finger independence in a fun, engaging way. This book transforms essential exercises into simple, enjoyable daily routines that prepare the hands and mind for confident playing.
Each group of exercises—known as a “dozen”—presents playful, bite-sized challenges that can be completed in short sessions. Students can progress gradually, repeating sections for steady growth. Whether used in private lessons, classrooms, or at home, this method encourages consistency and discipline while keeping practice rewarding and motivating.
As pianists advance through each group, they are encouraged to transpose patterns into new keys, improving fluency, dexterity, and musical flexibility. These short technical drills enhance rhythm, tone control, and overall keyboard comfort, helping players build the foundation needed for more complex repertoire. It is a valuable complement to any beginner piano course or songbook.
Music educators around the world rely on this timeless resource to nurture strong technique and confidence in their students. It also makes a thoughtful gift for aspiring pianists, encouraging creativity and discipline from the very first note.
Trusted by teachers, loved by students. A classic starting point for piano study—perfect for lessons, home practice, or a daily warmup routine that inspires steady musical growth.
