Designed to build on the foundation laid in Level 1, Repertoire Book 2 contains six key elements that promote the well-rounded development of each student. These elements include Reading Pieces, Rote Pieces, Challenge Pieces, Equal Part Duets, Theory, and Improvisation.

Reading Pieces

• Reading Pieces begin with a review of intervals (2nds and 3rds) and landmark notes Treble G and Bass C. They progress to starting on notes over the expanse of the staff in a variety of keys. The intervals of a 4th and 5th are introduced.

Rote Pieces

• Composed with a colorful harmonic pallet, Rote Pieces are pattern-based and use a wide range of the keyboard.

Challenge Pieces

• Challenge Pieces are early-level works by composers such as Reinagle and Czerny. They provide an introduction to counterpoint and mixed articulations between the hands.

Equal Part Duets

• It is vital that students learn to accompany as well as to play a melodic line. Equal part duets are included to allow students to learn both secondo and primo parts.

Theory Pages

• Theory Pages provide students with music theory review in a worksheet format.

Improvisation

• Improvisation suggestions are included along with teacher accompaniments.
