Hal Leonard 296006 Student Piano Lessons Book 2

Book 2 starts with a brand - new My Own Song improvisation on CDEFG. Unit 1 teaches phrasing and legato touch, and also shows harmonic 2nds and 3rds with staccato touch. Units 2 and 3 focus on introducing 4ths and 5ths. In Unit 3, sharps are introduced in a diatonic setting starting on D, and flats are presented as blues notes. Most pieces in the second half of the book require both hands to play together. This book is perfect for transfer students. PLU: HL4877

How to use: Start by going through the improvisation at the beginning of the book. Then, work through each unit step - by - step. Practice the touch techniques like legato and staccato carefully. For pieces that require both hands, start slowly and gradually increase the speed. Attention: Make sure to practice regularly. Don't rush through the units. If you find a particular concept difficult, spend more time on it. Maintenance: Keep the book in a dry place. Avoid spilling drinks on it. If you use a pen or pencil to mark the book, do it lightly so it doesn't damage the pages.
