PianoForte Level 2
PianoForte Level 2 is a beautiful follow-on from Level 1 and students progress easily from the first level to the second.
Level 2 carries on with all the solfa, musicianship and pre-notation from the first level. It also introduces the stave and how music is represented on lines and spaces.
Reading music is presented with the Landmark Notes: Treble G, Bass F and Middle C. However, this is not a position-based approach, as students continue transposing each piece as they did in Level 1.
Each Landmark Note is introduced musically with a fun and engaging piece (and teacher duet!). This helps students remember the keyboard name as well as where it is on the stave.
There is a lot of practice with each Landmark Note as students play several pieces for each one. Every piece has a wonderful teacher duet and words to sing along.
The most wonderful thing about this level is that every single piece continues to include a ‘pre-notation’ version with the same three transposition positions. Students continue to think and sing using moveable solfa, and this is then represented in musical notation. This is a powerful way to learn to read music and the cornerstone of the PianoForte method.
