Description:

Since 1984 The Loftis Method for Piano, Book 2 is usually presented as a sequel to Book 1, but it may also be used as a student's first piano book (at the discretion of the teacher). In Book 2 the student progresses through 79 fun and carefully graded pieces which help him/her master note reading in the middle-C (two thumbs on C) position. Included in Book 2 are detailed appendices including a glossary of terms, a note identification page and a rhythm practice sheet. The teacher is free to tailor the material and the order of presentation to fit the age, level and ability of the student. Some of the concepts presented in Book 2 are: note and rest identification, time signatures, division of beat, rhythm study, dotted notes, sharps, flats and naturals, tied notes, eighth-notes, pick-up notes, accents, fermatas, dynamics, crescendos and diminuendos, the damper pedal, staccato and legato touch and more. Helpful footnotes remind the teacher to introduce or review concepts as the student progresses through the book. The Loftis Method for Piano, Book 2 is also a 79 song resource for recital pieces.
