Final check
Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
Yes. Book 2 picks up where Book 1 ends and assumes you already have those reading and hand-position skills.
Lesson, theory and solo repertoire are combined in a single volume rather than sold as three separate coordinated books.
It's written for adults — faster pacing and adult-oriented repertoire. Younger students are usually better served by a children's method.
Yes, though you'll want enough keys for the later pieces. A short 49-key keyboard will run out of range.
