Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Second book in the A Dozen A Day technique series. Short daily warm-up exercises for piano students past the beginner stage.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Students who finished A Dozen A Day Book 1
- Five-minute daily technique warm-ups before practice
- Building finger independence between method book pieces
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Complete beginners — start with the Preparatory or Book 1
- Players wanting pieces to perform rather than exercises
- Anyone looking for theory or note-reading instruction
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
Orange cover
The series is color-coded by level. Orange identifies Book 2 — useful when a teacher names a color instead of a number.
Detail 03
Technique exercises, not repertoire
Short drills meant to be played daily as a warm-up, not learned as performance pieces.
Detail 04
A dozen exercises per group
Designed so a student plays a small set each day rather than working through the book front to back.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01A supplement, not a method — pair it with a lesson book
- 02No theory or written work; this is playing only
- 03Confirm the teacher wants Book 2 and not the Preparatory
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What's the difference between Book 1 and Book 2?
Book 2 continues the same daily warm-up format at a higher technical level, assuming the hand independence and range that Book 1 builds.
02How long do these take each day?
The format is built around a short group of exercises played as a warm-up, not a full practice session.
03Does it teach note reading?
No. It's a technique supplement. Note reading and theory come from a separate method or theory book.
04Is the orange cover a different edition?
No — orange is simply the series color for Book 2. Each level in A Dozen A Day has its own cover color.
