About this title

Synopsis

A Dozen a Day Book 2 by Edna Mae Burnam helps developing pianists strengthen their technique while having fun. Designed for mid to late-elementary students, this book continues the famous A Dozen a Day series with progressive exercises that encourage consistency, dexterity, and musical confidence. It is an excellent choice for self-learners, young students, or teachers seeking structured technical development tools for piano lessons.

What’s Inside: This volume includes sixty carefully sequenced exercises designed to improve finger strength, control, and flexibility. The short, focused routines allow learners to master technique one step at a time, with clear notation, illustrations, and fingerings that make practice time easy to follow. Each group of exercises builds naturally on the previous one, introducing slightly more advanced movement patterns and coordination challenges to help students grow at their own pace. The exercises can also be transposed into different keys for added skill development and versatility.

Why It’s Valuable: This method helps build confidence, enhances hand coordination, and improves rhythm, reading, and performance skills. The lighthearted illustrations and approachable format motivate consistent practice, transforming technical work into musical play. Teachers appreciate its clarity and proven results, while students benefit from its manageable structure and engaging design. It’s also an effective companion to other piano lesson materials or a fun daily warm-up routine for all ages.

Trusted by teachers, loved by students. A Dozen a Day Book 2 makes piano technique exciting and rewarding — perfect for home learning, classroom instruction, or gifting to aspiring pianists ready to take the next step in their musical journey.
