Alfred's Basic Piano Library Lesson Book, Bk 1B (Alfred's Basic Piano Library, Bk 1B) Paperback – August 1, 1981

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.

Es un excelente material para aprender piano. Sin embargo, mi sugerencia es que, debes buscar a un profesor que domine este material para que puedas sacarle el.mayor provecho posible.

Second book for my kiddos and seems to help them progress quickly

My daughter's music teacher recommended purchasing this textbook. So far everyone is happy, the child is making progress.

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.

First, I am a piano teacher and I use Alfred's line of books for my students. I love the books, and think that they are great with flexibility and the order with which they progress through different topics.A little more about flexibility: these books offer several different "paths" to learn. For adults, there is the adult lesson books and the adult all in one books. For the younger learners, there are three "paths" they can start on: the older beginner, the younger beginner, and the normal lesson books. I love this because both the older beginner and younger beginner lead back to the main lesson books, so I find this great because I can start a four year old differently than an 11 year old but they still end up on the same "path" as the rest of my students.The only reason I put 4 starts instead of 5 is because I'd prefer if there was more time spent on the new things. I'd prefer if they offered the regular lesson books as similar to an all in one instead of having separate books for theory, notespelling, ear training, etc.In general, I think these are great books to learn from and will continue to use them for my students!

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. 🤗 🤗 🤗
