Alfred’s Basic Piano Prep Course – Lesson Book

For the Young Beginner

By Willard A. Palmer, Morton Manus, and Amanda Vick Lethco

Alfred’s Basic Prep Course, Lesson Book Ais 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.

Alfred’s Basic Prep Course, Levels A through F, was written to answer a demand for a course of piano study designed specifically for students who are five years old and up. This course offers a careful introduction of fundamentals, music that fits comfortably under the young student’s normal hand span, plus constant reinforcement–all leading to results beyond those generated by other piano methods.

After Lesson Book B, the student may progress to Prep Course, Lesson Book C or choose to go directly into the faster paced Level 1B of Alfred’s Basic Piano Library. The complete Prep Course consists of six books (Levels A through F).
