Alfred's Basic Piano Library Lesson Book, Bk 1a: Book & CD

Exactly what we needed and delivery was quick. It was also delivered in a well-packaged way so the pages were intact.

This book is a great one to start a pupil on, if they are approx between 5 and 8 years old. The print is large ( always helpful for beginners) and the method excellent, in that a pupil gets used to following shapes, fingering and gradually notes on the stave. If a pupil is bright, then he/she will go at a faster rate, and that's fine. It is better to have something that is achievable and fun, than to struggle with your first book. I have been teaching for 30 years, and have used many different tutor books, but this is one of the best.

Arrived in good time. Good condition and exactly what my daughter needed for her to start her piano lessons

I ordered this book as a replacement for one my daughter had been borrowing from a friend. This version is the American one - not much is different, but they call a stave a staff, and some of the songs have been re-worded and are now about 4th July and other themes my daughter is unfamiliar with. UK readers need the 'Universal Edition', but it doesn't seem to be available on Amazon.

Very informative and children friendly

Excellent for very young and new to an instrument.
