  • In Kristen Denny-Chambers' Prep Steps, each key signature is given a single page of ten exercises, with each exercise one line in length. She wrote Prep Steps as preliminary material to Books 1 and 2 of the full version, aimed at advancing pre-college and progressing undergraduate students.

    Exercise nos. 1 through 6 utilize familiar patterns including scales, thirds, arpeggios, pedal tones, neighbors, chromatics, dominant chords, and diminished chords.

    Exercise no. 7 features challenging octaves.

    Exercise no. 8 is meant to challenge one's approach to repetitive articulation.

    Exercise no. 9 is designed to be played slowly and expressively to focus on beautiful connections, and exercise no. 10 is built as a speedy challenge; both showcase disjunct leaps.
