Sight Reading & Rhythm Every Day® Book 2B |
FF1538 / 5.50 |
Helen Marlais with Kevin Olson
|
|
In the Every Day plan for Book 2B, students learn triads and
begin to play pieces with both hands together on two staffs.
Attention is given to different articulations and dynamics, and
students are asked to transpose short pieces to the next nearest
keys. In addition, students learn to "plan" for note and
rhythmic accuracy, correct articulations, and a good sound. Helpful
suggestions guide students to think before they play, and not to stop
once they have started. Students are also asked to count rhythmic
examples out loud and clap, tap, point, snap their fingers, and
march. Developing these important skills lays the proper foundation
for music making and fosters stellar piano playing. |

five-finger pattern by crossing the second finger over the thumb is
