Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this the same as Level 1A?
No. Prep Course A is an earlier, slower-moving starting point. Level 1A is the standard first book of the main library.
02Do I need the lesson book too?
Yes, if this is your only book. Solo Book A is repertoire that follows the Lesson Book's order rather than teaching the material itself.
03Can an adult use this?
It works, but the pacing and song choices are written for children. Alfred's adult method line fits better.
04What comes after this book?
The next Solo book in the Prep Course sequence, then the standard Level 1A materials once the prep track is finished.
