Edition adapted for English and Australian students. "The Music Tree" series continues the development of complete musicianship by providing the beginner with delightful and varied repertoire.

Guided training steps are used to encourage intelligent practice skills.

The Music Tree is the most carefully researched and laboratory-tested series for elementary piano students available. This edition contains a natural, child-oriented sequence of learning experiences combined with new music of unprecedented variety and appeal. Great pedagogy and great music—a winning combination!
There is nothing more exciting than a young pianist fully expressing a musical idea. The goal of this collection is to provide repertoire that encourages expressive playing using the natural capabilities of the elementary student. Because finding that perfect piece is central to a student's success and motivation, included is a wide variety of styles -- programmatic music, impressionistic music, blues, and traditional melodies. Although designed as duets, the student parts are satisfying when played as solos. Side by Side 2B coordinates with Music Tree 2B of the Frances Clark Library but can be used with any method.
Edition adapted for British and Australian Students. "Time to Begin," the cornerstone of the Music Tree series, is a unique and highly effective approach to beginning piano instruction. Starting with off-staff notation, it leads the student to reading direction and intervals, and climaxes with the discovery of the Grand Staff. Also included is a carefully designed program of rhythm, technic and creative work.
The Activities books are closely correlated, unit-by-unit with the Music Tree series. They provide extensive reinforcement in all the new Music Tree discoveries, plus they offer an exciting new program of sight-playing, guaranteed to develop successful sight-readers from the start.
