Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A note-naming drill workbook that supplements Alfred's Basic Piano Course levels 1A and 1B. For students who read rhythm fine but hesitate on note names.

- Students who count well but stall identifying notes on the staff
- Teachers wanting written drill work between weekly lessons
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone not using the Alfred Basic Piano Course lesson books
- Adults wanting a full method they can work through alone
- Players past the first year who already read fluently
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
Complete 1 (1A/1B)
One book covering both halves of level 1, so you don't buy 1A and 1B separately.
Detail 03
Basic Piano Course, not Prep Course
Aimed at the standard beginner track rather than the youngest-starter track. Pages align to Basic Course lesson order.
Detail 04
Supplement, not a method book
There's no lesson sequence here. It only makes sense alongside the matching lesson book.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01The lesson book is sold separately; this only supplements it
- 02Written-in answers make it single-student; siblings need their own copy
- 03Check whether your teacher uses Basic Course or Prep Course first
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need the lesson book too?
Yes. This is a supplement keyed to Alfred's Basic Piano Course levels 1A and 1B. On its own it drills note names but teaches no repertoire or technique.
02What is a notespeller?
A workbook of written exercises for naming notes on the staff and finding them on the keyboard. Students write letter names in rather than play through pieces.
03Is this the same as the Prep Course notespeller?
No. Prep Course is a separate, slower-paced track for younger starters. Its notespellers are labeled A, B, C and don't line up with Basic Course 1A/1B.
04Do I still need 1A and 1B notespellers separately?
No. This Complete edition covers both in one book.
