Detail 01
Theory book, not a lesson book
Written exercises — note naming, rhythm, intervals. You still need the lesson book for pieces to play.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Combined theory workbook covering Levels 1A and 1B of Alfred's Basic Piano Course. Written to be assigned alongside the matching lesson books.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Beginning piano students already using Alfred's Basic Level 1A/1B lesson books
- Teachers wanting written theory to reinforce weekly lessons
- Parents supervising early practice at home
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Students past the first level — the material will be too easy
- Anyone wanting playing repertoire; this is written work
- Adult beginners, who are better served by an adult-track method

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 most students. This is the written theory companion. The lesson book carries the pieces you actually play at the keyboard.
02What age is this for?
It is the beginner level of Alfred's Basic Piano Course, typically used by young students starting piano with a teacher.
03Is 1A/1B the same as Level 1?
1A and 1B are the two halves of the first level. This volume combines both in one book.
04Does this work for keyboard as well as piano?
Yes. The written theory applies to any keyboard instrument. A full-size weighted keyboard is closer to what the course assumes.
