(Educational Piano Library). Book 2 embarks on a journey with a fresh “My Own Song” improvisation focused on CDEFG. The initial unit lays the groundwork for phrasing and legato touch, while simultaneously introducing harmonic 2nds and 3rds executed with a crisp staccato touch. The subsequent two units are meticulously designed to unveil the nuances of 4ths and 5ths. Unit 3 doesn’t stop there – it brings in sharps within a diatonic setting that commences on D, and cleverly incorporates flats as intriguing blues notes. The latter half of Book 2 skillfully coordinates both hands to play in unison, proving to be an excellent resource for transfer students. The book also comes with an exclusive code providing online access to exquisitely recorded backing tracks, available for download or streaming.
