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, for the actual teaching. This book is repertoire only — the concepts behind the pieces are introduced in Lesson Book 2.
02What level is Book 2?
The second stage of Alfred's Basic Piano Course, roughly late-beginner. A student should have completed Level 1 before starting it.
03Is there a CD or download?
No audio comes with this one. It's printed music only.
04Can an adult use this?
It's written for the children's Basic Piano Course. Adults are usually better served by Alfred's adult-track books.
