Experience
The exercises on this page are intended for students enrolled with Hetzler's Music. They will help improve pitch, intonation, timing and sight reading. Play along with the MIDI while you read the sheet music.  Accuracy is more important than speed. Your speed will slowly increase as you master each exercise. Use an adjustable tempo MIDI player so that you can play along easily.

These are exercises not tunes. Use MIDI on the Hetzler's Fakebook web site to learn tunes.
