Grade 2 - Topic List
The following details are included on a separate sheet in the CD case, to be given to the pupil's teacher
To the Teacher:
Your pupil has bought a copy of "Crotchet Beat" (Grade 2), an interactive computer package which aims to give plenty of practice at music theory – covering all aspects up to Grade 2.
As well as playing on the computer he or she is also encouraged to put pencil to manuscript paper from time to time. You might find it useful to keep this list of topics covered, so that you can suggest which topic they ‘play’ with next.
