    • A great Lesson book!
My son used this book for his piano lessons. It was recommended by his piano teacher. The lessons are very helpful and it is easy to use. I would recommend it for any beginner piano student.

This is the second book we have purchased and love it! Our kids started piano late last spring and we recently moved to this book. They love how easy it is to follow and play from.

    • I have never been this determined to play an instrument. read below for my inspiring story👇👇👇
It all started when I really wanted to play the piano, suddenly, I found this old book on one of my shelves in my basement. Blowing off the thick layer of dust atop the cover of it, I opened it up and explored. This book happened to be book 1A. After completing that book in less than a month, I could finally move to level 1B. Now, a few weeks in, I still have my extremely strong pull in my heart to practice piano whenever I have the chance... MORAL OF THE STORY IS BUY THIS. 🤗 🤗 🤗 ... show more

    • Great for beginning teachers and students
I am teaching piano, for the first time, to my kids and some kid's of my friends (ages 5-6.) My personal playing skill is about intermediate- advanced and I have no experience in teaching piano. I do homeschool my children, but have no degrees in music or education. I preface my review in this way to share that this series is very self-explanatory and easy to navigate. We pair it with the theory book and recital books, and I am adding simple finger exercises with the start of this second book. I tried a couple of other series before I found this one. I found that, like with most things, each child can thrive differently because of differing learning styles. But Alfred's seems to be a nice compromise, and each of my five students are doing well and enjoying themselves. I highly recommend for anyone wanting to teach a nice, basic introduction to the piano for young children. ... show more

    • Prompt delivery of item
This book is required for my daughter's music lessons. It was recommended by her tutor, so he must have found value in it. I don't have an opinion on it yet.
