Alfred's Basic Piano Library: Sight Reading Book 2

Alfred's Basic Piano Library: Sight Reading Book 2

Alfred's Basic Piano Library: Sight Reading Book 2 gives developing pianists a systematic way to improve reading fluency while reinforcing the same concepts introduced in the Level 2 Lesson Book. Written by Gayle Kowalchyk and E. L. Lancaster, the exercises are short and generally easier than the corresponding lesson material so students can concentrate on reading accurately at first sight.

Systematic Sight Reading Practice

The book uses fresh exercises built around familiar Level 2 notes, intervals and rhythms. This helps students become quicker at recognising musical patterns without relying on memorisation or repeated practice.

Rhythm and Improvisation Included

Along with standard reading exercises, the book includes rhythm sight-reading drills and improvisation activities designed to develop stronger pulse, confidence and tactile freedom at the keyboard.

Who Is It For?

Our Take

Sight reading improves through regular exposure to new music, and this book makes that easy to build into a practice routine. The exercises are short enough to stay fresh while still reinforcing the reading skills students are learning in Level 2.
