Piano Lesson Book: Complete Level 1, for the Later Beginner Review: Best Piano Series! - I have been a piano teacher for about 30 years. I am familiar with John W. Schaum as that is what I had grown up with, along with John Thompson. When I first started teaching, I used the Bastein series, but was unimpressed with the songs. Another piano teacher turned me on to the Alfred's series, and I have used it ever since. I loved it and more importantly, my students love it. They go home from their very first lesson, able to play a couple of songs. It starts them off on the black keys to get them use to looking at the sets of 2 and 3 black keys. This helps them later when they begin learning to locate the different white keys. They always return the next week very excited. Parents are always impressed by our end-of-the-year recital by the songs they hear the kids playing from the beginners to the advanced students. I was curious as to why some people rated this book/series 3 stars and below. Someone thought that you could learn everything from just this book, and you could, but you don't get enough practice with the new concepts that are being taught. We use all 4 books: Lesson, Technic, Theory, Recital. When they say "complete" what they mean is that it has combined level 1a and 1b into one book. For young children, ages 5-7 you would want to use these books. Some thought the words to the songs were silly, but I have never heard my students complain about that in all the years that I have taught. Students who have come to me from other teachers, using other methods, are thrilled when I switched them over to this series. They said that they actually enjoyed practicing. The songs are fun, lively, and pages colorful. Level two gets even better as well as each level that they will progress through. This series teaches about intervals, half-steps/whole steps, the chromatic scale, chords, long/short rhythms, different keys (first book they begin in key of c, then move to key of G) and so much more. Alfred's have filled in the gaps that other methods leave out, and has a good, logical order. I cannot say enough good about this series! I highly recommend the entire series! Review: Never Too Late! - I’m an adult who had four years of piano lessons as a kid, but have forgotten almost everything, and want to play again. This book is exactly what I was looking for—I don’t feel it was too childish or too advanced; I might need a few supplemental lessons with a teacher though, for a brain boost. Although it’s helpful if you’ve had some musical experience in the past, I feel you can definitely teach yourself to play and this book is a great starting point. Just ordered the second book. It’s never too late to start again! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #17,930 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #40 in Piano Songbooks #58 in Piano & Keyboards #118 in Music Instruction & Study (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (1,742) | | Edition | 3rd | | ISBN-10 | 0882848178 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0882848174 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 72 pages | | Publication date | August 1, 1983 | | Publisher | Alfred Music | ## Images ![Piano Lesson Book: Complete Level 1, for the Later Beginner - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71pjMCPgGUL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Piano Series! *by H***O on September 24, 2013* I have been a piano teacher for about 30 years.
