Each of these action-packed books build students' reading skills using two types of exercises: Daily Note Search emphasizes quick recognition of notes out of five-finger positions; Short Phrases in five-finger positions give your students a daily diet of reading (not rehearsing). The suggested practice routine fosters excellent self-evaluation habits. Progress reports help teachers and students track annual progress. Both of Levels 1 and 2 may be used with any beginning piano method.
Use the Primer Level for your beginner's first performance. Level 1 features easy piano arrangements using I, IV, and V7 chords in the keys of C, G, and F. Level 2 introduces more hand position movement. Sophisticated arrangements in a wider variety of keys are used in Levels 3 and 4. Each level is correlated with Bastien Piano Basics or any other method at a comparable level.
