Piano method, volume 2

For individual and group lessons


The second volume of the Piano method 2000 grows with the child's psyche. It takes up every chapter of volume 1 and adapts it to the age of the child. The range increases to one octave in each hand. Polyphonic playing is built up slowly and carefully from the bordun; in the ‘composing corner’ the player invents accompaniments using the material introduced in the practice pieces. Partner songs with an adaptable level of difficulty as well as pieces for 3 to 6 hands help to motivate the player. The inner ear is practised in the ‘finger acrobatics’, which are short, clever etudes taught aurally by the teacher, as well as mastering two-part harmony in canon playing. On the ‘workshop pages’, theory is introduced in a convincing way, from a simple definition to playing with musical parameters and sight-reading. A text attachment on the technical structure provides the teacher with important information.
