Detail 01
A level in this course, not a school grade. It assumes you can already read both clefs.
Detail 02
Content builds in a fixed order. Skipping ahead leaves gaps, so work it front to back.
Detail 03
Part of a numbered sequence, so there is a defined next book when you finish this one.
Detail 04
Written for two hands on a full keyboard. A short 49-key controller will run out of notes.
Detail 05
Single-book cost. Completing the full course means buying each level separately.
Final check

Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
No. Grade here means the second level of the piano course. Students of any age reach it after completing the first grade book.
Not recommended. It picks up where the first grade book leaves off and assumes you can already read notes in both hands.
It is built for lessons. A motivated adult can work through it alone, but a teacher catches technique problems the page cannot.
Yes, if the keyboard has enough keys and weighted or semi-weighted action. Small unweighted keyboards limit the later pieces.
