Faber Piano AdventuresAccelerated Piano Adventures Technique & Artistry Book 2 for The Older Beginner - Faber Piano
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Technique and artistry book for the Accelerated series — teens and adults, Book 2. Buy it as the companion to the matching lesson book.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Older beginners moving faster than a children's method allows
- Adult students who finished Accelerated Book 1
- Teachers running teen or adult students through a compressed track
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Young children — the pacing and material assume an older learner
- Anyone who has not worked through Accelerated Book 1
- Students wanting pieces to perform rather than technique work
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
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 02
Technique & Artistry, not Lesson
This is the exercise and touch-development half. The concepts it drills are introduced in the separate lesson book.
Detail 03
Book 2
Assumes Book 1 is done. Starting here without that foundation means gaps in reading and hand position.
Detail 04
For the older beginner
Examples, pacing and language target teens and adults. A seven-year-old would be better served by the standard Level 2 books.
Detail 05
Around nine dollars
Priciest of the three because it is a full graded workbook rather than a reference or supplement.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need the lesson book too?
Yes, for the full course. Technique & Artistry drills the skills; the lesson book introduces the concepts and provides the repertoire. They are designed to run in parallel.
02What age is 'older beginner'?
Teens and adults. The Accelerated series exists so a fourteen-year-old or a forty-year-old isn't working through material written for young children.
03Can I start at Book 2?
Not recommended. Book 2 builds on hand positions, reading range and technique established in Book 1. Start there unless a teacher places you higher.
04How does this compare to standard Piano Adventures?
Accelerated covers the standard levels at a faster pace with age-appropriate material. Two accelerated books cover roughly what several standard levels do.
