Detail 02

Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

Finished Alfred's Basic Level 1. You should read treble and bass clef and be comfortable playing hands together.
No. Alfred's Basic Piano Course and Alfred's Basic Adult Piano Course are separate series with different pacing and page layouts.
Yes, though technique books benefit most from a teacher watching your hand position. The exercises themselves are short and self-explanatory.
