Alfred's Basic Piano Course Lesson Book Level 1A (Alfred's Basic Piano Library)

Greta piano instruction book! Three of my kids are using this and it’s going great! Easy to understand instruction. We’ll be getting the next level ones soon too!

I’m a piano instructor & this book is perfect for a beginner. It’s easy to understand. Kids as young as 6 years old can understand.

I love that I can see progression through the Alfred books. Buying the next one.

Got this book for my 8 year old who just started learning how to play the piano. It’s a very good book as a starter. It explains things very well, it’s easy to follow the directions. My kiddo is enjoying learning by this book. The quality of the book is also great. The cover page is strong. All the pages are think. It also came with a disc, which we haven’t used yet. I think it’s a great first book for somebody, who wishes to learn to play the piano!

I have been a pianist for the last 25 years, and my 5 year old daughter decided she wanted to learn. We don't have any instructors in our city, so I decided I could teach her in the beginning. I remembered using the Alfred books when I began lessons, so I was happy to see they were still in print! I ordered the Alfred's Basic Piano Course Lesson Book, Theory, and Technic (Level 1). They are meant to go together. The books are well laid out and simple for a child to follow. My 5 year old is an early reader, and with me, she has no problem following these books. They are illustrated and the print is large. The books will let you know when to incorporate the lessons from the Theory and Technic books, as the lessons taught will coincide and help build on each other. In the beginning, your child will learn the basics on reading music, but for the first half of the books, a numbered finger system will be used in place of a traditional staff. This is to build your child's ability to use their separate fingers correctly. If you are using this as a parent to teach your own child, my only advice is to go slowly and patiently. Make sure that the child understands and is using the correct technic before moving ahead. It is a simple book, but speed is not key. This takes time and practice in order to build confidence. This is the perfect first lesson book.

Very good for piano beginners

I purchased this for my son who wanted to try piano. Bright and colorful illustrations, great explanations of how to learn, and lots of familiar tunes make this a great book!

I love these piano books, they are well sequenced and easy to use. Love Alfred!

Great book

Very helpful for kids to learn the basics .
