Final check
Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
Yes. Book 2 assumes the reading, rhythm and hand position taught in Book 1 and starts from there.
No. The written lessons stand alone. The CD is there so you can hear tempo and phrasing before playing.
It is built for self-study, with explanations written out and audio to check yourself against.
Early pieces stay in a small range, but an adult course spreads out. 88 weighted keys serve you better.
