Summary of This Method
This Book 2 enriches practice by introducing new keys and new rhythms, with an organization designed to suit different profiles: you can follow the proposed order for structured progression, or pick targeted chapters to consolidate a specific point (rhythmic reading, intonation, ease in a key, etc.). This flexibility makes it a relevant resource both in lessons and for self-study.
The central asset lies in the accompaniment CD: the play-alongs allow you to work on sound, tempo stability, and listening skills, with a "playing in a group" feel thanks to real instruments. The method also emphasizes understanding the fingerboard and positions through large clear fingering charts, and offers a solid technical section: mixed meters to gain rhythmic precision, full pages of scales and arpeggios to develop fluidity, as well as exercises dedicated to double stops and shifting to improve left-hand coordination and intonation control.
Note: this item is sold in damaged condition (creased cover, possible sticker). The educational content remains suitable for practice and study, but the aesthetic aspect may show visible marks.
