5 out of 5 stars Good Beginner book   December 27, 2007

We bought this for my 7 year old daughter to begin learning piano basics at home. It is a good introductory book to expose her to the basics of theory. It has lesson pages to build on the theory presented and exercises to increase the comfort level with white and black keys and counting. It introduces these concepts before introducing letter names of the keys (on page 22). The lessons work with both hands from the beginning.
My mother, who has played piano for over 50 years, and taught piano lessons, did a study of piano lesson books for a music theory class, and recommended the Alfred books. This one puts it all together in one book in a logical sequence so we aren't juggled multiple books. It is also less expensive than buying three books (lesson, theory, and solo).

My son who is 5 years old started playing piano using the Alfred All-In-One Course: Book 1 in January. He takes one hour of piano lessons every week, and practices at least 1 hour every day or every other day. After 5 months using the Alfred book and music flash cards, he is able to read basic piano notes, and rest without any problems. Overall, he is advance for his age...in addition to piano, he can READ 1st grade level,DO DOUBLE DIGIT MATH,and play GOLF. I don't expect him to be Mozart, or a pianist...I just want him to love music and learn the classics!
