Since Kelden is more "keen,"as their teacher says, he is already almost at the same level as Julia. However, the teacher wasn't sure he should put them both in the same course. After some internal debate, he decided to start the Grade 1 book with Julia and a pre-grade 1 book with Kelden. For those of us who are piano illiterate, it means that they are going from a book with nice little kids' pictures to a book where notes are written smaller and songs require more than a week to learn. (The teacher insisted on that for Kelden who thinks he is a failure if he doesn't get a new song every week).
Kelden was disappointed; going to Grade 1 seemed an honor that he deserved more than Julia, but he likes his new book. There are pictures at the back that show the other books in the series: grades 1 to 10, and then a book for teachers. So Kelden now wants to be a piano teacher. His teacher said he will rent him his house when he's ready :)
