Joining the Dots, Book 2 (Piano) - Bullard, Alan

Buy Together For: $16.75

Joining the Dots offers pianists lots of material to help build confidence and skill in sight-reading. The series brings together a range of activities to help students improve their sense of keyboard geography, helping them to read new music more quickly and easily. The five books cover the requirements for ABRSM's sight-reading tests at each of Grades 1 to 5, and include:

many short, characterful pieces to sight-read, in a range of approachable musical styles

warm-up and technical exercises, to establish basic hand shapes and finger patterns within each key

simple improvisation exercises in which students can explore musical ideas and familiarise themselves further with the 'feel' of each key

longer solo pieces and a duet, for additional sight-reading practice or to learn quickly and play through for fun

"‘What Bullard offers piano teachers and students is different … more concentrated and all-encompassing. Bullard’s offering is unquestionably sensible, multi-purpose and invaluable not merely for improving sight-reading skills, but for educating and stimulating young pianists in their overall musical development.’"

By: Piano Professional

"‘This holistic approach to the subject will doubtless find favour with those who struggle with their sight-reading, and one hopes that all those who aspire to proficiency in this area will enjoy the variety of topics and exercises on offer here.’"
