Higher level thinking skills continue to grow as students relate new information to knowledge already acquired. New facts (diminished 7th chord, Major circle of keys, & sonata-allegro form) appear frequently throughout.
Duplets, Dances of the Baroque suite, Secondary dominants, Major/minor/half-diminished 7th chords, and the Impressionistic period are a few of the new concepts introduced in this level. All books exactly follow the keyboard syllabus of the CM curriculum.
