Alfred's Basic Prep Course, Lesson Book A is specifically designed for beginners who are five years old and up. Through the use of appealing music and attractive illustrations, it is no wonder that Lesson Book A is the most widely used young beginner's piano book now available. This course takes into consideration the normal attention span, as well as the small-sized hands of the young beginner. Shortly after beginning, the young student will be able to play "Merrily We Roll Along." The complete Prep Course consists of six books (Levels A through F). This course is most effective when used under the direction of a piano teacher or experienced musician.

5.0 out of 5 stars Too easy for first graders, October 5, 2011

amethyst - See all my reviews

This review is from: Alfred's Basic Piano Library: Prep Course Lesson Level A (Paperback)

This book is very easy and basic for anyone who is new to piano playing. But with first graders, I observed that it was too easy for them. It would be a great book to start with K2 students. But if technic is a hurdle for some students, then this book is just right.
