AlfredFolk Dances From Around the World Book
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A printed Alfred collection of folk dances from various traditions, sold as a single book. Aimed at students and teachers who want repertoire outside the standard classical path.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Teachers building a world-music unit without buying several separate collections
- Students who want short, tune-based pieces rather than long works
- Recital or school-concert programming that needs variety quickly
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players hunting one specific tune; you pay for the whole collection
- Anyone needing a method book — this is repertoire, not instruction
- Advanced players wanting concert-level arrangements
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
Folk dance repertoire
Dance tunes run on steady repeating rhythms, so they double as pulse and timing practice.
Detail 03
From around the world
Expect varied meters and modes rather than one national style. Good sight-reading breadth.
Detail 04
Alfred imprint
Alfred's educational catalog is a fixture in school music rooms, so this slots into classroom use.
Detail 05
Entry-level material
Written to stay playable for students in their early years, not for concert soloists.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Ships as the book alone; stand and any accompaniment are separate
- 02Confirm it fits your player's instrument before ordering for a specific student
- 03A broad collection means not every tune will suit your program
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a method book or a song collection?
It's repertoire — a set of folk dance pieces. You still need a separate method book for technique, scales and reading instruction.
02What level is it written for?
Entry level. The material targets students in their early years rather than advanced players.
03What comes in the package?
The printed book. Nothing else ships with it.
04Why does it cost more than a single piece of sheet music?
You're buying a full collection in one volume instead of one tune, so the per-piece cost is lower.
