Alfred's Adult All-in-One Course

Piano Book Level 1

Alfred's Basic Adult Piano Course is designed for the adult beginner who wishes to quickly learn to play the piano. It is also for adults who prefer a chord approach. It teaches chords for both hands so that the student can play more than single note melodies. Included are familiar songs such as The Entertainer, Scarborough Fair, Greensleeves, and Amazing Grace. Students begin playing from the staff almost immediately with the Level One book, starting in C Major position and progressing to G and middle C positions. They are given the opportunity to expand their range beyond a fifth as they learn sixths, sevenths and octaves. Scales and chords are taught systematically as the keys of C, G, and F Major and C and D Minor are introduced. The student is encouraged to use the accompanying compact discs or General MIDI disks. Playing along with these recordings is not only enjoyable, but is invaluable for reinforcing musical concepts such as rhythm, dynamics and phrasing.

The Bastiens' Older Beginner Piano Course was written specifically for the requirements and desires of teenage and adult students with many demands on their time.

Clear, precise graphics illustrate new concepts and large notes make reading easier. Peppered with pleasing piano arrangements of popular folk and classical melodies, this course also includes attractive and accessible pop and blues pieces to add spice with a modern flair.  Level 1 begins with four pre-reading tunes on white keys and then launches into reading from the grand staff in C Major position. Soon after, tonic and dominant chords are included in the left hand. Simple chord symbols are found above the staff for all tunes of the Piano Course, Levels 1 and 2.
