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 CA97/CA67 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.
