Charming, musical, and pedagogically sound — the perfect first études for young pianists.
Hermann Berens (1826–1880), a distinguished Romantic pianist and teacher, created the 20 Études enfantines, Op.79 as a gentle yet effective introduction to technical development for children and early learners. Far from dry drills, these short pieces are melodic and engaging, making practice both educational and enjoyable.
Each étude introduces fundamental piano skills — legato phrasing, staccato articulation, hand coordination, simple dynamic control — within playful, expressive music that sparks a young pianist's imagination. Berens understood that early technical training should also nurture musical sensitivity and enjoyment, helping students fall in love with the instrument while developing a reliable foundation.
