Book 8, the last book in the series, features challenging rhythms that occur in early advanced/advanced music such as 3 vs 2 and 2 vs 3. Students read pieces with two-octave scales, ledger lines, syncopation and counterpoint in many different keys. Transposing and harmonizing skills are reinforced. The student is always encouraged to plan before starting, and to play accurately with correct articulations and good sound.
