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

This beginning piano method for beginners of all ages uses an easily understood innovative and logical approach to note reading and rhythm. Beginning students who start lessons with Piano ABC's learn quickly to read with confidence, so they generally accomplish in one book that which might require multiple books from many current traditional methods. Subsequent levels of Piano ABC's continue to facilitate a faster pace for understanding musical concepts and for well-coordinated playing when compared to the pacing of many of the most popular beginning piano methods. Learning to read notes (letter names) is very easy. Rhythmic instruction integrates physical and intellectual activities as well as the writing of easily understood proportional graphic symbols to help students grasp metrical and rhythmic concepts. Attractive pieces in diverse styles and modes have been composed with the student in mind; and the engaging illustrations by Francois Arnaud will stimulate students' artistic imaginations. The several "streams" of music theory and pedagogical categories introduced in Piano ABC's Level One are continued and expanded in other levels throughout. This is a unique, patented beginner piano method endorsed by nationally-acclaimed piano pedagogues. If you are teaching Piano ABC's Level One for the first time, be sure to check out "Lesson Plans for Beginning Piano Teachers of Beginning Pianists" in which the author provides a wealth of information to facilitate the teaching of beginner piano students. Even experienced teachers have lauded "Lesson Plans" as a very helpful resource to enhance their own professional expertise.
