Reading encompasses notes to a 5th above and a 5th below Middle C. The notes A and E are introduced first, played by a braced 3rd finger of each hand. This encourages free movement of the whole arm from the shoulder, and develops a natural, balanced hand position, before the 5-finger position is gradually mastered.\r\n\r\nThe first line of the treble stave and the fifth line of the bass stave are highlighted, and further lines are similarly treated as the child learns more notes. Staccato, slurs, ties, upbeats and repeat signs are all experienced in Book 1.\r\n\r\nTempo and dynamic markings encourage musical playing, and are in English, in order to avoid \"knowledge overload\".","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45724139618614,"sku":null,"price":9.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/9402\/3478\/products\/ALF00983430482X_1.jpg?v=1695833751"},{"product_id":"poco-piano-young-children-bk2-ng-fm","title":"Poco Piano Young Children Bk2 Ng FM","description":"With its highly attractive, full-colour, age-appropriate layout, \u003ci\u003ePoco Piano for Young Children\u003c\/i\u003e encourages young children to take the first steps on a difficult, but thoroughly rewarding journey.\r\n\r\nTogether with the \u003ci\u003eMusic Theory for Young Children\u003c\/i\u003e books, the \u003ci\u003ePoco Piano For Young Children\u003c\/i\u003e series leads the child from the very beginning to grade 1 level.\r\n\r\n\u003ci\u003ePoco Piano for Young Children\u003c\/i\u003e includes exercises to help the child develop technique, rhythm and reading, and it involves the child in activities such as pasting, colouring, tracing, circling and clapping.\r\n\r\nIn \u003cb\u003eBook 2\u003c\/b\u003e three new notes in each hand are mastered (up to High C and down to Low C) and the child experiences changes of hand position within a tune.

Certain notes belong, while all other notes (accidentals) are outsiders.\r\n\r\nTransposition is a natural outcome of this concept, with a tune moving from one group to another.
