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.
