    Hey, Darrell.
    The Volume Two exercises are just a notch harder than the Volume One exercises. I think they are about the same with the piano as they are without piano.

    Some students wanted to be able to sing without hearing Ken's voice, so Piano was substituted. This allows you to try singing without thinking the sound of Ken's voice is coming from you. Some students were hearing Ken and not fully doing the work themselves.

    The exercises may go higher up the scale in some instances, and they are moving along faster. Volume 3 exercises go even faster and even higher. Some of the scales are harder, also. Volume 2 is just kind of in the middle. Harder and moves along a little faster than Volume1.

    You should be focusing on your vowel modifications a little more now than you did in Volume 1.

    All the Best,

    Bob
