TL;DR Upper Hands 2 is a worthy successor to Upper Hands 1 and is better than jellyfish for brain health after 50.
Upper Hands Piano Book 2 excels in nurturing a well-rounded musical experience. This installment seamlessly combines classical, jazz, and folk tunes, making the learning process engaging and mentally stimulating. From the playful jazz standard “St. Louis Blues” to the timeless beauty of “Für Elise,” the repertoire is diverse, offering a delightful challenge for advancing students.
What sets Book 2 apart is its comprehensive approach, covering theory, technique, note reading, and even brain training exercises. The incorporation of chord inversions, slash chord symbols, and themes from the movies adds a layer of complexity that keeps learners on their toes. Whether you’re a pianist over 50 or someone seeking a holistic piano method, Upper Hands Book 2 is a delightful continuation of a brain-boosting musical journey.
