Description
Pianoworks Book 2 is the second tutor book in the successful Pianoworks series, written especially for the older beginner. Like its predecessor, the book focuses on the traditional concept of learning to play from music but also includes hints on improvisation and playing by ear. New techniques are introduced at a steady pace, and there are useful examples and exercises at every stage. You'll find attractive and accessible pieces in a huge range of styles, including well-known Classical works, traditional melodies, carols, jazz, and new pieces by the authors, and there are tips on performance and interpretation along the way. The companion website includes recordings of all the pieces, accompaniments to play along with, demonstrations, and additional aural and improvisation exercises.

Reviews
Pianoworks is popular with students due to its clear, detailed explanation, logical progression, great (and grown-up) music choices, and excellent supplementary books . . . Pianoworks offers a fast, no-nonsense approach to piano playing, with an emphasis on independent learning and solid notation reading . . . The quality of the music included in the Pianoworks series is undoubtedly one of the highlights that sets it apart from the alternatives. Alan Bullard is well-known as one of our top educational composers and arrangers; the calibre of his writing is fully on display here, while the contributions of Janet Bullard stand shoulder-to-shoulder in terms of their equally impressive quality . . . My adult students regularly comment on how much they enjoy playing these outstanding arrangements and pieces, which is of course SO important! * pianodao.com, January 2019 *
