Book 2 in this tutor series. Presto, Bravo and Poco continue this journey of musical discovery. Starting with simple three-finger pieces, by the end of the book the student will be able to play fairly complex pieces in first position, using all four fingers and low 2nd fingers.
With attractive pieces which engage the emotions, amusing characters, illustrations, and clear, concise explanations these books are highly engaging and give students all of the basic information they will need. Book 2 goes up to approximately ABRSM Grade 2 standard.
