AlfredEssential Keyboard Repertoire Volume 2
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A graded collection of keyboard repertoire at the second level. For students who've finished early method pieces and want real pieces to play.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Piano students moving past a first-level method book
- Teachers assigning graded repertoire between method levels
- Adult returners rebuilding reading with short pieces
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Complete beginners — Volume 1 comes first
- Players who read chord charts but not notation
- Anyone wanting pop or current songs
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Repertoire, not method
It's pieces to play, not lessons. There's no technique instruction built around them.
Detail 03
Essential Keyboard series
Graded to slot alongside a standard piano course, so it fits a teacher's lesson plan cleanly.
Detail 04
$21.99
One book covers a level's worth of pieces, cheaper than buying sheets individually.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Sheet music only — no CD, audio or online access included

- 03Check your current level first; jumping in too early stalls progress
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need Volume 1 first?
If you're at the earliest reading stage, yes. Volume 2 assumes the reading and hand coordination built in the first volume.
02Is this for piano or an electronic keyboard?
Either. The music is written for standard keyboard, so it plays the same on an acoustic piano or a digital keyboard with enough keys.
03Does it come with recordings?
No. It's a printed music book. You'd need a separate source if you want to hear the pieces before learning them.
04Can I use this without a teacher?
Yes, if you already read music at this level. There's no instruction in it, so a self-teaching student needs a method book alongside.
