By Level 4 students are sightreading variations on Scott Joplin's Maple Leaf Rag, new settings of Grieg's Hall of the Mountain King, and patterned variations of Bach's Prelude in C. Rhythm patterns become more complex with the dotted eighth to sixteenth; harmonic patterns advance to the V7 chord in root position and sharp key signatures of D, A and E major.

As the music becomes more complex, an initial scanning of the music is greatly encouraged: Is the key in major or in the relative minor? Spot the rhythm pattern used throughout. Plan how you will play the last arpeggiated chord. Students gain experience in C and Am, G and Em, F and Dm. Concepts extend to chord inversions, the octave, and 16th note patterns. Occasional Rhythm Road exercises invite tapping and writing work.

This early-intermediate sightreading book presents carefully crafted variations of 3A Lesson Book pieces. The student gains confidence with the familiar and challenge in perceiving the new. Sighteading goes “ beyond the notes” to recognition of musical patterns: the Alberti Bass accompaniment, chunking rhythm patterns in 3/8 and 68 time, the triplet in various time signatures, and expanded intervals through the 7th. Musical art provides theory review.

Enhancements to the 2nd Edition Level 2B Technique & Artistry Book include emphasis on pattern recognition, new teacher duets for several Artistry Magic pieces, and a new exercise to prepare students for playing chord changes. The four effective technique secrets are used as warm-ups throughout the book.

Designed to be used in conjunction with the other books in 3A, this book reinforces theory concepts through writing, sightreading, and ear-training activities.
