About Bastien Piano Library
The Bastien Piano Library is an integrated course of study containing method books, related theory and technic books, and a wide variety of supplementary materials, including Music Flashcards, specifically correlated solo sight reading books, and note speller. The Bastien Piano Library also offers the option of beginning with either a "contemporary" approach (featuring pre-staff notation and first staff reading in G, then C, then middle C) or "traditional" approach (featuring Middle C reading and the C five-finger position).

This is the second book in a fantastic multikey course. It should be preceded by the primer level. Each level in the course teaches three major keys, including the primary chords, scales, and key signatures. The Bastien Piano Library features more classical pieces that Bastien Piano Basics. The books are more conservatively illustrated. After level 4, there is an Intermediate Course, providing instruction through 7 levels. By level 4, the student will know all major keys and key signatures. This is an excellent core course.
