It guides me through teaching the music theory my students need and also progresses through the various levels at a rate that's quick enough to keep my students from getting too bored! I also use their Piano Solo books for recital pieces, etc. Excellent and challenging series for piano students of all levels- from 1A up.
When you get into books 4,5, and 6, the pieces have some decent substance. These basic piano teaching books are easy to follow, easy to read, and easy to teach. The pages are filled with a good use of white space. The book itself is made of good quality and I do not feel that they will easily deteriorate. I believe that these books by Alfred's Basic Piano Prep are the basic books for piano knowledge and a great place to start a beginner.
I have already purchased other of the Alfred's Basic Piano Prep Course books and will continue to purchase from this publisher. I have also steered my student's toward purchasing their own sets of these books to help with practicing outside of the classroom setting. These books will definitely stay around in my teaching library for years to come!! I look forward to seeing what other prep books are written and how they supplement the current books! I have been teaching private piano lessons for 15 years and I am delighted with the Alfred series.
This book specifically has quite a few songs that the kids will recognize. It starts by introducing the dotted quarter not, which is often difficult for students. It ends with great coverage of the primary chords, I, IV, V7. I love the approach Alfred takes to introducing those chords, then using them so much for the accompaniment. At first the kids are always very confused by it, but by the end of the book, they recognize them easily in all their pieces and can name them without any trouble. Be aware that some of the supplements in the series are substantially harder than the corresponding lesson book.
The Basic Piano series by Alfred's is great for my piano students.
The Basic moves along at a fairly good pace and is strong on music theory. What I love about this book is it combines lesson book 2 and 3, in order , so the one book lasts my students longer. I also use the notespellers with these books to make sure the music theory is covered. I highly recommend these for students who are younger, from 6 up , to follow along in this series.

As it progresses, the pieces become more challenging and are super for teaching piano without leaving anything out. One person found this helpful. My kids and I are working through home piano lessons.
It is an easy book for them to follow. They are 6 and 7 years old. We do a couple of pages per lesson. It is not difficult for them, but is challenging enough and I get to save money on lessons for now. I would call myself a beginner piano teacher, as I play the piano myself but have had no instruction as to how to teach others to play. I now have four beginner students, whom I have been teaching for a little over a year.
I love the Alfred method. The songs coordinate with each other, so for each new concept taught in the lesson books, the student has a warm-up, a solo piece, and some theory work to back it up. I find this to be very effective. It gives the students a chance to see several examples of each concept, and practice each new concept in different ways until they achieve perfection with it. It also really walks the teacher through each concept very clearly, giving definitions for musical terms and clear instructions for which songs go together.
I feel like the order in which concepts are taught also makes a lot of sense. Overall, it's a good method for a teacher who doesn't know a whole lot about HOW to teach another person to play the piano! I currently have some of my students on this level, and others on the regular beginner levels. I love how all of the different levels are interchangeable, so gifted students can advance more quickly, and students who need a little extra reinforcement can stay on the lower levels. The map for how this all works is on the back of all of the books, which you can see on the book preview.
So many great things about Alfred! Purchased this for my 10 yr old son that started taking piano lessons about a year ago. His teacher recommended the first book to this series and we've just continued with these books. He does have a teacher helping him so I can't comment on how well these would be for someone that is self teaching but they seem easy enough. Most of the songs are older and he hasn't heard of them. Which might not be a bad thing considering he prefers to play with his ear instead of reading the music.
Overall I would recommend these books for anyone wanting to learn the piano. When you get into books 4,5, and 6, the pieces have some decent substance and provide plenty of challenge.
