The Classic Piano Course - Building Your Skills Book 2 for Beginner and Early Intermediate Pianists | Progressive Piano Method with Technique Training, Music Theory and Performance Development Paperback – 1 Jan. 1995

If you want to learn piano with classic-style practice pieces, this may be for you. The pieces gradually increase in difficulty in a manageable way. However, the book provides very little music theory background and does not really clarify which skills each exercise is supposed to be building. I felt like you could play the pieces after a while, but don't really learn much about playing anything else.

Speedy delivery. I enjoyed the first book in this series. Very well put together with the beginner in Mind and now a gentle progression with a bit more challenge for book two. Enjoying this as much as the first one

I have all three books in this series. I like Carol Barratt's style; she makes learning a pleasure. Whether you are a complete beginner or somebody, like me, returning to the piano after a long break, The Classic Piano Course is a good place to start.

A good series of books; there's plenty for the adult student to be getting on with themselves inbetween lessons - lots of reading etc and a nice cross-section of pieces which should appeal to most people. Fingering is good and the progression of difficulty carefully managed.

Easy to follow

Brilliant easy to follow book for my 9 year old as recommended by his music teacher.

Very good for the older learner. But do go through book one in the first instance. I would recommend sitting down with a good pianob teacher to fully appreciate this series.

I bought it at the same time as book 1 and soon gave both of them away. Waste of money.
