“…The concept of etude in piano literature was first used in the 18 th century, and became popular in piano education in the early 19 th century. This situation paved the way for the creation of new methods by gathering the etudes for amateur and professional musicians (Ferguson and Hamilton, 2005). In this period, the etudes written by composers such as Carl Czerny, Muzio Clementi, and J.Baptist Cramer in the field of piano were exemplary studies with the first method feature.…”

In this study, the American pianist and composer Jeff Manookian's "Etudes for the Intermediate Pianist" method was examined. In this qualitative study, the descriptive research model was employed and the literature was scanned through document review. As a result of the examination, no study was found on Manookian's piano etudes. To that end, Jeff Manookian's "Etudes for the Intermediate Pianist" method was examined by considering the characteristics and differences of the etudes, and the elements that the composer aimed to use in the etudes were stated. It is seen that each etitude in the method includes practices that will enable to overcome a different technical difficulty. Including the nuances of musical expression in the etudes and emphasizing the musical terms reveal that the composer adopted an approach that aims to care and increase musicality as well as technical development. Manookian etudes also have a writing style that supports pedal use and performance improvement. As a result of the study, it is thought that Manookian's etudes for intermediate pianists can be used as an alternative source in piano education.
