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, in practice. This is the technique strand of level 1B and follows the lesson book's pace. On its own it gives exercises without the surrounding instruction.
02Is 1B harder than 1A?
Yes. 1B is the second half of level 1 and builds on the hand positions and reading introduced in 1A.
03Is this for kids or adults?
Alfred's Basic Piano Course is written for children. Adults usually use Alfred's Basic Adult Piano Course instead.
04Does it come with a CD?
No. It's a print book of exercises with no audio.
