What matters in use
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 01
The second half of level one. Assumes note reading and basic hand position are already underway.
Detail 02
The main book — new material and pieces. Theory and technique books at this level are separate.
Detail 03
Alfred's graded beginner sequence. Levels are designed to be taken in order, one book leading into the next.
Detail 04
Nothing to play along with out of the box. Accompaniment material is a separate purchase.
Detail 05
Each level is bought individually, so a full year of study means several books.

Level 2 of the same Alfred sequence. The books are numbered to be worked through in order.
Not required to use this book, but the series pairs a theory volume with each lesson level. It is sold separately.
No. This is the printed lesson book only.
