Études enfantines, Op. 37 No. 18
About this arrangement
Henry Lemoine was a Paris music publisher and piano teacher. His Études enfantines, Op. 37, are 50 short studies dedicated to young pupils, and teachers still assign them today.
Hold every long top note for its full length and play the repeated eighth notes lightly beneath it. Practise the two voices separately first, then together.
Start with short loops.
Use the section list as a practice map. Start at 50% tempo, loop one section, then return to the full piece once the hand shape feels stable.
Choose Right or Left to focus on one hand. Wait for note checks the highlighted notes as you play them on the screen or a connected MIDI keyboard.
Before you practice.
