Things to consider
Pair these supplementary books with your student's current level in the Alfred's Basic Piano Prep Course method book, not above it. The Notespeller books work well for quick daily review, while Activity and Ear Training books take more time and suit weekly homework. If your student struggles with note reading, start with the corresponding Notespeller book before moving to more complex ear training activities.
