This second volume continues the piano studies from the first volume. The student continues to learn melodic, technical, and rhythmic elements of piano playing. The focus in this volume is on technique, with many études by Czerny and Loso included. However, this isn't the main focus of the volume, as the student should continue to have a lot of joy and fun while playing the piano. For example, there are four-handed pieces that the student can play together with a teacher or other students. The difficulty level ranges from the end of the elementary stage to the beginning of the intermediate stage. Many original compositions and numerous performance pieces from Bach to Brahms are included.
This volume is a traditional piano school, but it is designed with notation for left-handers, meaning the keyboard is mirrored. Children play the melody with the left hand and primarily accompany with the right hand, all mirrored compared to the right-handed piano system. The primary goal is for children to have joy and fun while playing the piano. Left-handers have the same opportunities as right-handers to fully utilize and demonstrate their potential. It's crucial that left-handers receive the complete package: a mirrored keyboard and corresponding notation, allowing them to play in a way that is natural for their hands.
