What matters in use
The specifications, translated
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 02
Activity & Ear Training
Two supplements combined: written puzzles and theory work, plus listening exercises done with a teacher or partner.
Detail 03
Supplementary, not a lesson book
It follows the Prep Course lesson book page by page. On its own it teaches no new material.
Detail 04
Prep Course, not Basic Course
Prep is the younger-beginner track. It is not interchangeable with Alfred's Basic Piano Library books.
Detail 05
$9.99
Consumable workbook. A student writes in it, so it does not pass down to a sibling.

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. This is a supplement keyed to Prep Course Lesson Book A. It reinforces that book rather than teaching new material on its own.
02What does Book A mean?
It is the first level of Alfred's Prep Course. Match the letter to the lesson book your student or teacher is already using.
03Can a student do the ear training alone?
Not really. Ear training exercises assume someone else plays examples for the student to identify.
04Is this the same as the Basic Piano Library books?
No. The Prep Course is a separate, slower track aimed at younger beginners. The levels do not map one to one.
