Students inevitably hit small reading roadblocks when they reach the late beginning level. The Interlude book is an optional volume that can be used by students after they finish the Prelude book or in tandem with the Movement 1 book to help reinforce their reading skills and to further explore playing in easy tonal centers like G major and F major. The Interlude book has a limited amount of textual method material and includes the teacher duets all in the same book.

Not exactly, but it’s pretty close! Each book in the Piano Pronto series includes pieces, explanations about musical concepts and terminology, written music theory exercises, and Pronto Prep sections to help instill the importance of section work. If you want to dive deeper into music theory we suggest using the correlating Power Pages books that include written theory, ear training, technique exercises, composition prompts, and much more. Power Pages books are available up through Piano Pronto: Movement 3.
