Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to announce the Second Editions

of Piano Adventures® Level 2A and Level 4.

As with last year’s changes to the Primer Level and

Level 1, the new Level 2A editions are a progressive

evolution of the time-tested curriculum.

The Second Edition of Level 4 is especially exciting,

with the complete revision of the Lesson Book

and the introduction of the new, dynamic Level 4Technique & Artistry Book!

Our publications have always grown from the needs

of the students in your studio. So we’re confident

that you’ll see more achievement… and more

student smiles!

Warmest wishes,

Nancy Faber Randall Faber
