Piano Lessons Book 2 - Book/CD Pack: Hal Leonard Student Piano Library Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book introduces students to reading music in a gradual way. It does show pictures of the notes which, though possibly a crutch as viewed by traditionalist music instructors, actually helps younger children get the feel of the notes and where they are on the keyboard. My son has been using Hal Leonard for over a year and is finishing book 2 and reading the music very well.
By contrast, the Suzuki method of piano doesn't introduce music reading until much later in the program.
I also like the accompanying CD. It helps my son to listen to and then play with the melodies and accompaniments. I would recommend this book and the Hal Leonard series.

The following two units are dedicated to the introduction of 4ths and 5ths.Also in Unit 3, sharps are introduced in a diatonic setting starting on D, and flats are introduced as blues notes. Most pieces in the second half of Book 2 coordinate hands playing together. This book works very well for transfer students.
