This continuation has a lot more music and fully orchestrated accompaniments. The songs are in order of increasing difficulty, divided into logical sections, including 9 Black Belt Degrees. Like the first volume, the songs are designed to be played and tested with the belt reward system. This resource includes:

• Review/Sequencing - Follow up and tune substitutions for both volumes.
• Black Belt Levels - Nine arrangements of songs in sequence of technical challenges.
• Advanced Music Beyond The Nine Belts - Song substitution options and additional levels for more advanced players.
• Seasonal Music - Arrangements to use for holiday performances in keeping with the method style.
• Concert Selections - Longer concert settings of some songs are provided, including an optional duet.
• Big Bundle Of Extras - Bonus extras include I Can statements, Exit Tickets, Anchor Charts, and more.

Even though this great method comes with reproducible versions of all student pages, sometimes the constraints of time and photocopying make it simpler to buy individual books for each student as opposed to spending hours copying them.
