AlfredAlfred's Basic Adult Piano Course Lesson Book 1 & DVD
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The first level of Alfred's adult piano method, bundled with a DVD. For an adult starting from zero who wants a graded, self-paced path.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Adults starting piano with no note-reading background
- Returning players rebuilding reading from the beginning
- Teachers who need an inexpensive first book for adult students
- Self-study at home, working a few pages a week
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Children — pacing and material are written for adults
- Players who already read notation fluently
- Anyone wanting a collection of songs rather than lessons

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need any experience to start this?
No. It is the first book of a beginner course and starts from the basics of reading and hand position.
02Is the DVD included or sold separately?
Included. This listing is the Lesson Book 1 and DVD together at one price.
03Is this the same as Alfred's course for kids?
No. Alfred publishes separate children's and adult methods. This is the adult one, with adult pacing and material.
04Can I use this without a teacher?
Yes, it is built for self-study and the DVD covers what a teacher would demonstrate. A teacher still helps with technique habits.
