Beautifully presented and intelligently paced, the Lesson Book combines unusually attractive music and lyrics. The book features note reading, rhythm reading, sight-reading and technical workouts. While most teachers find CD recordings very useful at the lesson and for home practice, others prefer not to use the CDs. To accommodate all teachers, this version of Premier Piano Course Lesson Book 1A does not have a CD included.

Boring to the Max
This book moves very slowly, which is good if you have a young student or a slow learner. However, it is exceptional in its ability to avoid songs. Each piece sounds like an exercise. I have a degree in music education and have been teaching piano lessons for 30 years. I enjoy using a variety of teaching methods. Alfred Basics, Faber and Faber, Bastien Basics, and Piano Town are all much better choices for students. Students are motivated to practice when they hear a melody. My student rarely, if ever, used her CD. She just did not practice these pieces. Instead she practiced songs from her other books, like Bastien's Nursery Songs.

I just love this series. Giving lessons two times a week advance the student more quickly without overwhelming them. I highly recommend this book along with the Performance Book and the Theory Book 1A

Alfred's Premier Piano Course
I prefer Alfred's Premier Piano Course over all of the other (5) courses I have tried for my students. The course reviews just enough to retain what has been learned, and new challenges are given with each lesson to keep the student interested!

Alfred's Premier Piano Course Lesson Bk 1A
Excellent course to use, but I suggest strongly that both the Theory as well as the Performance books 1A are used simultaneously to get the full benefit of the teaching material. All the shortcomings of the Basic books have been eliminated in this new series.
