David Carr Glover shaped piano pedagogy across North America through decades of methodical curriculum design. His systematic approach to technique and musicality became the foundation for countless young pianists, emphasizing both solid fundamentals and genuine musical growth at every level.
Why we love this
Glover's Level 2 material strikes the balance most teachers chase: enough variety to keep students engaged without overwhelming their technical reach. The French edition expands access for Francophone educators and students who benefit from instruction in their native language, while the 48-page format provides genuine substance rather than a thin supplement.
What to expect
These pieces balance playfulness with genuine musical substance. You'll find moments of lyrical beauty alongside rhythmic vitality, all scaled perfectly so students feel accomplished when they finish rather than frustrated before they start.
Who it's for
Early intermediate pianists ready to move beyond primer books and explore short character pieces alongside scales and technical work. Teachers seeking proven, levelappropriate material that develops both musicianship and technique without busywork.
How to get the most out of it
Introduce pieces gradually across the lesson cycle rather than assigning the entire book at once; Glover's progression means early pieces build confidence for what comes later.
Play through unfamiliar pieces before assigning them to identify which finger patterns or hand positions students should review first.
Encourage students to listen to themselves play rather than rushing to the next piece; Glover's pieces reward attention to tone quality at this level.
How to use it
Layer these pieces into a student's lesson routine as the foundation of their sightreading and repertoire building. Because Glover's material connects directly to technique work, pieces become natural applications for finger patterns and hand positions students are already studying.
