It is the opening volume, so later books continue the material. You can start here without prior volumes.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a method book?
No. It is scale and technique material. Most players use it alongside a method or with a teacher rather than on its own.
02Do I need Book 1 before later volumes?
Book 1 is the starting volume in the series, so it is the natural place to begin.
03How much is it?
$32.99.
04Will this teach me to read music?
No. It assumes you already read notation and want to build technique across keys.
