I can’t believe that summer is coming to a close. Every August, Trevor and I tell ourselves that next summer we will work way less.
And, without fail, every summer we run ourselves ragged to the point that we barely even get to see the sun.
But, we’re not looking to organize a pity party, because we LOVE what we do!
This summer, every waking hour has been entirely consumed with WunderKeys Elementary Piano Lesson Book 2A, which is now available on Amazon.
And I’d be lying if I didn’t say that now that it’s done, Trevor and I might take a few hours to put our feet up.
But before we do, we want to share 3 note reading games for level 2 piano students.
Also, if you’re itching to see inside 2A we have a little “look inside” in today’s post too.
How To Use Our Dot To Dot Note Reading Games
Today’s piano games reinforce note reading in the G major, D major, and A major 5-finger scales. The dot-to-dot format adds a splash of fun for your tween and teen piano students.
Using a pencil, students draw a line that begins at the character, passes through seven note circles, and ends at the star. Next, in Box 1, students write the name of each note in each circle that rests on the path they just created. Finally, students can draw two more lines and play again.
To use this printable repeatedly while saving on ink, many teachers choose to laminate the game boards. Then, when it’s time to play, your level 2 piano students can use a dry erase marker to create their paths.
These 3 note reading games are available at the bottom of the post, but first…
Look Inside WunderKeys Elementary Piano Lesson Book 2A
As students progress through the WunderKeys curriculum, they are also growing up. So it is important that our WunderKeys method books grow with them.
WunderKeys Elementary Piano Lesson Book 2A is an important bridge for kids who have outgrown “little kid” music but are not ready for our intermediate method books.
It is jam-packed with pop-infused repertoire, technical exercises, and theory. But that’s not all!
Because kids are never too old to have fun, we have ramped up the innovation and developed ways to have level-appropriate musical fun through lap tap clap rhythm work, improvisation, and pick-a-path sight-reading.

This 2A book looks so interesting, with some theory and technical skills. It looks like a great fit for my students. The songs sound like they’ll be a hit! I can’t wait to order it. Thanks, Andrea and Trevor.
Hi Rudene! We’re so glad that you’re excited about it. To have this book in a studio like yours is a dream for us 🙂 Thanks for your enthusiasm!
I think this might be just right for my tween daughter. She dropped her [other brand] “boring” method book last year, and we’ve just been using some Piano Book Club books and other songs for learning/repertoire, but I know she needs more planned learning until she reaches the intermediate Wunderkeys where her older siblings are.
My preschooler just started your preschool book 1 this month. “I want to play Climb Aboard” he said the next day. I love your books and SO many free resources. It makes learning to teach piano fun and easy!
I’m so thrilled to hear this Beth! Yes, I’m sure she won’t find this new book boring 🙂 It’s always nice to have a method to provide some structure and a sense of progression. Hope she enjoys it! Thanks for your kind words.
