The Korena take
The first lesson book in Alfred's Basic Piano Library. For a true beginner starting piano lessons, usually with a teacher.
Strong match
Who this is for
- A child or adult starting piano with no reading ability
- Teachers who assign the Alfred Basic sequence
- Restarting after years away from the keyboard
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who already read notes on both staves
- Anyone wanting adult-only repertoire or self-teaching without a teacher
- Keyboard players looking for chords and pop songs

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is 1A or 1B the first book?
1A. It comes first and assumes no prior reading. 1B follows it.
02Can an adult use this?
Yes, though the pacing and artwork are aimed at younger students. Alfred publishes a separate adult course.
03Do I need the theory book too?
Not required, but most teachers pair them. The theory book drills what the lesson book introduces.
04Does it come with audio?
This is the printed lesson book. Any accompaniment recordings are separate purchases.
