Piano Adventures: Theory Book Level 2A, 2nd Edition | Music Theory Workbook with 5-Finger Scales and Composer Biographies | Educational Sheet Music Supplement for Piano Learners

This book has been a part of a series of books that my children use with their piano teacher for their lessons. They have been progressing along nicely, and of course, it is due to their enthusiasm for learning as well as this book along with the series that has helped them along in learning their piano skills.

Good book for piano class!

This is the requested piano book series by my daughter’s piano teacher. Straight forward songs and instruction. Great for beginner/intermediate.

I love teaching from this series, using the Lesson, Technique, Performance and Theory books. All the units move forward together and each book offers a different sort of challenge. The theory book functions much like a math workbook, focusing on music theory. It almost always has examples that are very similar to pieces in the lesson, technique and/or performance books, so student cannot help but make the connections with what they are doing during practice. The hardest thing about the theory book is getting the students to complete the pages. I request students complete their theory as part of their first practice session after their lesson, to ward off practicing something "wrong" for a week. It's simply not a favorite--at this level, most students feel like they are wasting time on anything that is not actually playing the piano. This book offers a few pieces, but is mostly a workbook for things like interval training, music "vocabulary", ear training, manuscript writing, and pages that must be completed with the instructor's assistance (ex. sections where instructor plays something and the student must identify which example they heard).I've tried not using it with a few students, but it actually makes a pretty big difference in how much they understand about the music.

Required book for grand's piano lessons. Great price!

We bought these books at the prompting of a woman who was going to teach piano to our daughter. It turned out she was unable to teach her and the new teacher had never used these books. After going through level 1 books, we decided these books were very thorough and we liked how they progressed through teaching piano. We had a few other level. 2 books we planned to use, but they did not follow the same sequence of teaching, so we bought this series of books again. We really like the songs they use for the lessons and they provide many duets to play together. The duets are not only fun, but they sound really good!We included this book I. The level 2 books, but the entire set of books is a little too much to get through in a 45 min. Lesson, so we cut out the Performance book, sight reading and added in Classicss and Hymns

This book showed up right on time. The corner was bent but still useable so no need to return.

We bought this book for our kids (beginner/mediocre level). They love using this book for practice. Not too difficult but difficult enough that they can improve their skills.
