My children have been using the Alfred piano series for a little over two years now. They have enjoyed the course, and are learning from it. Alfred's presents piano in a fun way. Alfred's keeps the interest up by introducing new concepts with fun songs, many of which my children know, or that or just fun to play or to listen to. I highly recommend the Alfred piano series.
