Alfred's Basic Piano Library: Adult Courses

Who it's for

• Adult beginners starting piano with no prior experience
• Returning pianists brushing up after a break
• Private teachers working with adult students

What's inside

• Three levels of instruction: Book 1 (beginner), Book 2 and 3 (early intermediate)
• Standard lesson books, all-in-one courses, and jazz/rock variants
• Format options: book only, book with CD, book with DVD, or digital downloads
• Pop, jazz, rock, and classical repertoire alongside sacred and standard pieces

Things to consider

Start with Book 1 and choose your format based on learning style: the all-in-one courses bundle lessons and theory in one book and work well for self-study, while separate lesson books pair with theory books for teachers who want more control. If you learn by listening, grab a version with CD or DVD; if you prefer digital access, the download options let you learn at your own pace on any device. Progress sequentially through the books rather than jumping ahead, since each builds on the previous level's foundations.
