H.Hiner 'Etudes for your eyes': LINES 1



   Attention - the Etude for your eyes are designed for your vision - not necessary for your ears!

Before you start working on our exercises, please, keep in mind:
It is not music composition. We made the exercises as less musical as possible to avoid any memorization of the material to engage your eye-sight in the process of sight-reading more intensively.

These exercises will help your eyes to focus on the lines and grasp corresponding keys simultaneously.

We recommend playing these etudes on 2, 4, 5 and 6 visual modes (press 2, 4, 5 or 6 on your computer keyboard).

Use of 1 and 3 may distract you from the perception of the lines.

Download and save the following files:
Etude #1

2. Go to your Songs Library folder. If your computer is Windows, go to disk C --> Program Files (X86) --> Soft Mozart --> Songs
3. Copy - paste the LMZ file that you just saved to any folder or create separate folder. *You can use your 0 folder, where you placed your butterfly LMZ file from the previous lesson*
