6 Finger Exercises

The lesson function also includes a selection of finger exercises for practicing major and minor scales, arpeggios, chords, cadences, and Hanon exercises, with notated scores provided in the separate ‘Finger Exercises’ book.

The CA93/CA63 digital piano can also evaluate one’s practice, analysing note accuracy, timing evenness, and note volume consistency, before displaying results for each category. Using this function, players can objectively review their performances, and concentrate on improving a particular area of their technique.
