Finger Builders: Book 2 by piano educator Robert Pace is a piano technique book in the Pace Piano Education series. Created to accompany Music for Piano Book 2, it provides graduated technical exercises connected to the musical concepts and compositions in the corresponding volume. The book is intended for pianists, teachers, studios, and educational music programs using the Robert Pace Keyboard Approach.The carefully organized studies provide focused practice in finger control, coordination, dexterity, and efficient hand movement. Because the exercises align with the content of Music for Piano Book 2, they reinforce keyboard technique while maintaining a direct connection between technical work and musical application. The exercises are designed to support regular study alongside the companion repertoire, encouraging a balanced approach in which technical development and musical understanding progress together throughout the Pace Piano Education curriculum.The progressive organization encourages regular practice without treating technique as a collection of unrelated drills. Each exercise supports skills that can be applied to the companion repertoire, helping develop consistency, confidence, and expressive control through structured study. Rather than functioning as a standalone exercise collection, Finger Builders: Book 2 is closely integrated with Music for Piano Book 2, allowing technical concepts introduced in the exercises to be reinforced through the corresponding musical selections. This coordinated approach reflects Robert Pace's educational philosophy of combining technical fluency with meaningful musical experience while providing an organized resource for ongoing keyboard study.
