Études enfantines, Op. 37 No. 25
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.
Keep the left-hand waltz pattern steady: a clear bass note on beat one and two soft chords. Play the right hand leggiero, light and detached, and follow the slurs where the melody joins notes.
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.
