David Carr Glover Method for Piano: Theory, Level 2: Piano Book

Purposeful and age-appropriate. The pages invite exploration rather than drill; a student working through these exercises feels like they're unlocking secrets about how music works, not memorizing rules.

Piano students in Level 2 of the David Carr Glover Method who need reinforcement of foundational concepts. This book pairs with the Glover Method Lessons book and gives students a chance to solidify their reading and theory knowledge outside of lesson time.

• Work through theory pages in parallel with the corresponding lessons book material rather than as separate units; the reinforcement sticks when both are fresh.
• Have students label or mark up their own theory pages during lessons so they own the discoveries they're making about intervals, symbols, and rhythmic patterns.
• Use theory page mistakes as teaching moments, not corrections; ask students what they notice about their own work and guide them toward the answer.

Work through this alongside the corresponding Lessons book, assigning theory pages weekly to deepen understanding of the pieces and techniques students are learning. The variety of activities keeps engagement high while building the literacy skills that make advanced repertoire accessible.
