Bastien Piano for Adults Book 2 - Book Only

Bastien Piano for Adults Book 2 is the second volume in the Bastien course written specifically for adult beginner pianists. By Jane Smisor Bastien, Lisa Bastien and Lori Bastien, it combines lessons, theory, technic and sight reading in one spiral-bound method book, giving adult students a clear path forward without needing several separate books.

A Complete Adult Piano Course in One Book

Book 2 continues the gradual progression established in the first volume, developing reading, keyboard technique, harmony and musical understanding together. Short explanations are followed by practical exercises and repertoire so new concepts are applied directly at the piano.

Music Chosen for Adult Learners

The repertoire is deliberately varied, drawing on famous classical themes, folk songs, spirituals, ragtime, blues, boogie, jazz and original Bastien pieces. This gives adult learners plenty of musical variety while reinforcing the core skills introduced throughout the course.

Who Is It For?

Ideal for adult students progressing beyond the first stages of piano study, including learners moving on from Bastien Piano for Adults Book 1 or anyone looking for an integrated late-beginner piano method.

Our Take

Bastien Piano for Adults works well because it keeps the essentials together. Rather than separating theory, technique and reading from the music, each area develops alongside the repertoire. Book 2 is a practical next step for adults who want structured progress without a method that feels written for children.
