Good selection; not hard
Great selection of music, and not hard! I bought it particularly for "Oh Come All Ye Faithful", which is my favorite tune ever. I've also learned "We Wish You a Merry Christmas", and now am trying "Silent Night". It is really motivating me to practice piano more now that I have music I like. I stopped on page 57 of "Alfred's Basic Adult Piano Course, Level One", because I listened to the ...

Good Beginner book
We bought this for my 7 year old daughter to begin learning piano basics at home. It is a good introductory book to expose her to the basics of theory. It has lesson pages to build on the theory presented and exercises to increase the comfort level with white and black keys and counting. It introduces these concepts before introducing letter names of the keys (on page 22). The lessons work with ...

A great piano book
The Alfred Basic Piano Library is a wonderful series of books for beginning students. I have taught piano for 11 years, and this series has been very successful with many students! Some favorites of students in Level 2: Alouette, Kumbayah, Ode to Joy, Oh Susannah.

a gift on my 60th birthday
my son gave me this book on my 60th birthday. I grew up with the milne books and read them to my boys. In fact, our oldest, Christopher, is named after Christopher Robin. Get out your old book of Now We Are Six, and keep it next to you while you read this book. So charming. So clever. Makes me feel like a kid again and it makes me smile....alot.

Excellent Series
I am a private voice and piano instructor, and I have found Alfred's Basic Piano library to be an excellent teaching tool for very beginning students to the intermediate student. It is best to incorporate all the "core" books in the series (Technic, Lesson, Theory, Recital, and possibly one other of your choosing...there are many to pick from, such as Hymns, Popular Songs, etc.). Each book ...

Alfred's Basic Piano Library Level 1A Gets FIVE STARS!
I have taught piano lessons for over 20 years. During that time, I have found that Alfred's Basic Piano Library Level 1A is great for young beginners. When children are about 5-6 years old, they have trouble controlling their hands, as well as multi-tasking. So, learning to use fingers correctly, count, and learn letter names can be very frustrating. In ABPL Level 1A, children do not have to ...

GOOD SELF-TEACHING AID
I took piano lessions years ago {now 64} i wished to start back so i bought a keyboard. Looking at Amazon for some lession books I came across these three volumes by Alfreds and decided to buy. Very glad I did. If you stick with it and practice, you will do well and teach yourself how to play some good music. My wife got interested and now she is playing. You will love the progress of the ...

Accompaniment CD is not flawed, in fact it can be very useful if used correctly. Read carefully
Some reviews here say the CD is flawed because the recordings are not solo piano demonstrations and can be confusing for the learner. I do not agree with those reviews. Here is why; On each piece, the background accompaniment instruments are heard on the left channel of the recording. The piano part is demonstrated on the right channel. On many sound systems, balance between the left and right ...

So Glad I Found This Series
My efforts to reteach myself to play the piano had kind of stalled but ALFRED'S BASIC ADULT PIANO COURSE has put me back in gear. I kind of dithered between starting with level 2 or level 3 and though the first few pieces in level 2 were very easy for me I soon found I really did need the review offered in level 2 and a quick scan of level 3 shows me I would have soon become frustrated with it ...

Pretty good as piano instruction books go.
Not much to say. I went through about ten beginner books when I was learning how to play the piano and I believe this series is probably the best organized and easiest to understand. It is best if you start at the beginning and do the entire series. Have fun makin' music!!

strongly recommended
This is a great Christmas songbook for intermediate piano players. The arrangements are beautifully done. I end up sounding much more accomplished than I really am! With just a little practice, you will easily be able to play these favorite Christmas songs for the holidays.
