Detail 01
It's Book 2
Picks up mid-course. Starting here means skipping the reading and hand-position groundwork Book 1 covers.

Independent shopping perspective
Book 2 of Alfred's group piano course. For students continuing in an instructor-led class or keyboard lab, not for someone starting from zero alone.

What matters in use
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 01
Picks up mid-course. Starting here means skipping the reading and hand-position groundwork Book 1 covers.
Detail 02
Written for a room of students with an instructor. Exercises assume other people playing alongside you.
Detail 03
Shares terminology and sequencing with the rest of the Basic line, so it drops into an existing lesson plan.
Detail 04
No disc or backing audio. Practice is you and the keyboard, at whatever tempo the class sets.
Detail 05
Consumable price. Writing fingerings and notes directly on the pages is the normal way to use it.

Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
You can work the material solo, but it's built for a class. A private-lesson method book will guide a self-teacher better.
Yes. Book 2 continues a sequence and assumes the reading, rhythm, and hand-position work from Book 1.
No. It's the printed book on its own.
Any piano or keyboard you can practice on consistently. A weighted-key instrument matches what a class piano lab uses.
