The successful concept of progressive music education, first comprehensively presented in Music Step by Step 1 for grades 5 to 7, continues with this volume. Seamlessly following the first book, Music Step by Step 2 advances the AMU principle for grades 7 to 10/11. The seven-member author team from both school and university ensures that the second volume maintains a consistent action-oriented approach, expressed through immediately applicable exercises. The proven concept, consisting of a teacher's manual, media box, and optional student workbook, is retained: the main resource is the teacher's manual, while students work with the student workbook. While the structure of the first volume was oriented around areas of metric, rhythmic, and tonal-vocal competence, the follow-up volume introduces eight dimensions of musicality.
