Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need Grade 1 first?
Yes. Grade 2 picks up where Grade 1 leaves off and assumes those skills are in place.

It can be worked through alone, though the series is written for lesson use with a teacher.

Read treble and bass clef and play hands together on simple pieces.
