第二版入門教學介紹了鍵盤、音符時值和五線譜。學生將練習C大調五指音階,培養對級進和跳進的辨識能力,並學習與指法無關的字母名稱。透過運用力度變化和踏板進行色彩實驗,培養學生的音樂素養。本書按單元編排,每個單元代表一個主要概念和技能。隨著新單元的引入,先前的概念和技能也會不斷被複習。
The 2nd Edition Primer Lesson Book introduces the keyboard, note values, and the grand staff. Students play in C 5-finger scale patterns, develop recognition of steps and skips, and learn letter names independent of finger number. Musicianship is built through the use of dynamics and coloristic experimentation with the pedal. The book is organized into units which represent the major concepts and skills. As new units are introduced, earlier concepts and skills are constantly reviewed.
