Alfred's Basic Piano Prep Course Lesson Book, Book B

For the Young Beginner

By Willard A. Palmer

My daughter likes playing the songs and knows some of the nursery rhymes already vocally.

I enjoy using the Alfred's Prep Course. With Level B, I appreciate the way intervals are introduced one at a time and get lessons to learn the new skills. I do wish when the new G Position is introduced, they would go a little slower with the new notes...

. Many of my students struggle at that point in the book because of how fast it moves.

I have been using these books for several years now. I use them on my students age 4 through 11. This series is a little bit slower than the regular Basic Piano Library Series and I like the fact that depending upon how well the student is doing, I can...

switch to the faster Basic Piano series or the slower Prep series. Since both series work together (i.e. parallel each other) I can move them between the two series based on their progress. The Theory, Notespeller & Technic books are comprehensive and the Activity book is absolutely LOVED by all of my younger students! This is by far the best series I have ever used!

I have this now because i,m 11 1/2 so I think this book is very fun ande entertaining!

After the very basic instruction in Level A, Level B picks up the pace a bit. Students get to start playing with both hands at the same time, and also are introduced to G Position. I have had several students in this book, and it has gone very well. Recommended...
