Strong match

Who this is for

  • Students continuing the Modern Course after finishing the first grade book
  • Piano teachers who already run this method with their studio
  • Adult returners rebuilding reading skills in a structured order

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Absolute beginners — start at the first grade book instead
  • Players who want songs to play, not graded exercises
  • Anyone learning by ear or from chord charts only

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.

Hal Leonard Modern Course For The Piano Second Grade Book construction detail

Detail 01

Second grade

A level in this course, not a school grade. It assumes you can already read both clefs.

Detail 02

Method book

Content builds in a fixed order. Skipping ahead leaves gaps, so work it front to back.

Detail 03

Modern Course series

Part of a numbered sequence, so there is a defined next book when you finish this one.

Detail 04

Piano

Written for two hands on a full keyboard. A short 49-key controller will run out of notes.

Detail 05

$9.99 price

Single-book cost. Completing the full course means buying each level separately.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01This is one level only — the earlier and later books are sold separately
  2. 02Designed around teacher guidance; self-teaching works but is slower
  3. 03Check the grade number against the book your student just finished

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Is this for a second grader?

No. Grade here means the second level of the piano course. Students of any age reach it after completing the first grade book.

02Can I start with this book?

Not recommended. It picks up where the first grade book leaves off and assumes you can already read notes in both hands.

03Do I need a teacher to use it?

It is built for lessons. A motivated adult can work through it alone, but a teacher catches technique problems the page cannot.

04Will it work on a keyboard instead of a piano?

Yes, if the keyboard has enough keys and weighted or semi-weighted action. Small unweighted keyboards limit the later pieces.
