Summary of This Book
Designed to boost the performance of Level 2 students, this book offers a carefully arranged selection of songs to make practice more engaging and consistent. The goal is clear: to work on fundamentals (rhythmic placement, intonation, articulation, phrasing) through songs that students know and love, drawn from pop and iconic film soundtracks.
The content emphasizes accessible progression: the arrangements are designed to fit into a learning path while quickly giving the feeling of "playing real pieces." Titles like "A Million Dreams" (The Greatest Showman), "Happy" (Pharrell Williams), "Havana" (Camila Cabello), "How Far I'll Go" (Moana), and "Into the Unknown" (Frozen 2) provide a variety of styles, moods, and grooves, perfect for developing listening skills and consistency.
To support practice both at home and in lessons, demonstration PDFs, backing tracks, and piano accompaniments are included and accessible via streaming or download thanks to the unique code provided inside the book. A real advantage for working on intonation, rhythmic accuracy, and endurance with stable musical support.
This edition also includes PLAYBACK+, a multifunctional audio player especially useful in teaching: the student can slow down audio without changing pitch, set loop points to isolate a passage, change key to suit their comfort, and adjust the left/right pan to better hear certain parts. A comprehensive tool to turn every session into focused practice and progress faster, measure by measure.
