Students using this Solo Book will benefit greatly from learning and playing pieces that have been selected to reinforce the concepts that are introduced in the Lesson Book. These pieces not only provide instructive material designed to fit precisely with the Lesson Book, but are also highly motivating because they are fun to play. It is never advisable to move faster in the Solo Book than in the Lesson Book, since new concepts involved in each piece are very carefully introduced in the pages of the Lesson Book. New principals are introduced in the Lesson Book, and these are all carefully reinforced in this Solo Book. These include syncopated notes; ostinato bass; the formation of triads; the "triad vocabulary"; the primary chords in C and G major; the key of D major along with its primary chords.
