Musicianship 2: Method Book for the Early Intermediate Pianist

The Musicianship series is comprised of theory lessons coordinated with drills in rhythm, technic, and ear training, which are then applied to short pieces to ensure understanding.  Throughout the course, no two adjacent pieces are in the same key, meter, phrase structure, character, or historical style.

Musicianship 2 introduces major scales, tetrachords, intervals 6th, 7th, and octaves, shifts, crossings, syncopation, scale practice, inverted major/minor triads, extension practice, consecutive pedaling, ear training, rhythm drills, and preparation pieces.
