Piano Abc's - Level Two: Beginning at the Beginning Beverly Grace Joy

Building on the very strong reading skills acquired in Level 1, Piano ABC's Level 2 adds new notes in the same very easy-to-understand format. Again, pieces have been composed to excite the student's aesthetic imagination, and teachers will find that students often work ahead reading new notes and learning new pieces on their own. Physical and intellectual exercises support more advanced rhythmic learning. Students play in Simple Meters of 2, 3, 4, and 5 and in the Compound Meter 6/8. Intervals of fifths and sixths are studied; major pentascales are analyzed, written, and played; and frequent check-ups of note reading, intervals, and rhythm ensure that students will continue to consolidate old skills as they acquire new ones. The pace is faster than many current methods, but it works just fine because students' reading is not interrupted and confused by sudden moves to unfamiliar places. New notes are added logically to a growing range of those learned already. To learn more or to choose other binding options (coil or comb-binding), visit www. PianoABCsTheMethod.com
