Reviews
Book is quite thin, 32 pages. Has 11 pages of pre-staff reading, i.e. no staff, the note letter is written on large quarter notes/half notes for the child to play. 18 Primer pieces, and an additional 10 pre-staff pre-reading. It's definitely aimed at students who either need some more material at the Primer level, or need a selection for a recital at the average Primer level. It has teacher duets, so that's nice. I'd say it is exactly at the Primer level, not higher. Useful for its purpose, I would guess.Now, in contrast, the Primer Gold Star Performance book (which I also own) is, IMO, Level 1. I'd say that any student who can tackle the Primer Gold Star Performance book is pretty much by definition a Level 1 student. Ledger notes, harmonic intervals. My son is now going into Level 2A and there's no way he could sight read from the Primer Gold Star Performance book, he'd have to work on those pieces.
