Alfred's Basic Piano Library

About this collection

Alfred's Basic Piano Library is a comprehensive beginner piano method featuring lesson books, theory books, and supplementary materials designed for children and elementary students. Developed by Amanda Vick Lethco, this 447-product collection emphasizes correct playing habits and note reading through interval recognition. Lesson books progress from Level 1A through Level 2, introducing keyboard topography, rhythm notation, hand position, scales, and musical concepts like tempo markings and pedal technique. Theory books coordinate page-by-page with lessons to reinforce learning away from the keyboard. Multiple formats and pacing options accommodate different learner needs and ages.
