What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Lesson Book 2
Picks up mid-method. Book 1 covers hand position, basic reading and simple keys — this assumes all of it.
Detail 03
Lesson book, not theory
Carries the pieces and new concepts. Alfred sells separate theory and technique books if you want written drill.
Detail 04
$14.99
Single book. Working the whole adult course front to back means buying several volumes over time.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm you've finished Book 1 — Book 2 assumes that reading level
- 02Theory and technic companions are separate purchases
- 03Any 88-key instrument works; you don't need a specific piano for this
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this come with a CD?
This is the lesson book on its own. Alfred publishes CD and audio editions separately, so check the specific edition if you want accompaniment tracks.
02Can I skip Book 1?
Not recommended. Book 2 opens at the reading level Book 1 ends at, including key signatures and hand independence you'd otherwise have to backfill.
03Is this enough to learn piano alone?
It gives you a sequence and pieces. It can't correct hand position or fingering, so occasional lessons help more than another book would.
04How long does a book take?
Depends entirely on practice time. Adults working a few times a week typically spend several months per volume.
