Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need Level A before this one?
Yes. Level B picks up where Level A stops and assumes those hand positions and note names are already learned.
02What age is this for?
Written for young beginners, roughly ages 5 to 7 — the pace and page design are aimed at that group.
03Is this the same as Alfred's Basic Piano Library Level 1?
No. The Prep Course is a separate, slower track for younger students that leads into the Basic Piano Library.
04Does it come with a CD or online audio?
No. This is the printed lesson book by itself.
