Suzuki Piano Book 2: Building Musical Independence

In this course, Suzuki piano teachers will explore the transition from learning by ear to developing confident reading and technical independence.

Through detailed study of Book 2, we’ll focus on repertoire sequencing, reading readiness, fingering strategies, and continued musicianship development. Together, we’ll discuss how to balance ear training and reading work in a way that supports joyful, secure playing. Teachers will leave with clear strategies for nurturing growth, fostering independence, and building strong foundations for lifelong musicianship.
