AlfredAlfred's Basic Piano Course Technique Book Complete 1 (1A/1B)
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Technique-only method book covering Alfred's Basic Piano Course levels 1A and 1B, bound together. For students already working through the matching lesson books.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Students following Alfred's Basic Piano Course who need the technique companion
- Teachers assigning finger exercises alongside 1A/1B lesson material
- Piano students who finished the primer and are continuing through level 1
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Self-teaching adults with no lesson book — technique alone teaches no repertoire
- Students in a different method series; the exercises key to Alfred's own sequence
- Anyone past early elementary level

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this the same as the lesson book?
No. This is the technique volume — exercises for finger strength and control. The Lesson Book, sold separately, carries the pieces and teaching material.
02Does this cover both 1A and 1B?
Yes. The Complete edition combines both halves of level 1 in one book.
03Can I learn piano from this book alone?
No. It assumes you are working through the matching lesson book and drills technique for material taught there.
04What level is this for?
Early elementary — students who have finished the primer level and are working through level 1 of Alfred's Basic Piano Course.
